Sphere did make junk, and yes it is very rare. I'd be curious to know if
anyone actually has a Sphere computer.
Speaking of NSFnet stuff, I may be able to get some of
the really old
stuff, when the network was built with RTs, token rings, and 56 K DSUs. If
I can get one of the old RTs, would the Vintage Computer Festival people
be interested as a door prize?
Perhaps for a future year :) In the very least it would be nice to have
one for the exhibition.
