BTW, does anyone know anything about Bay networking systems?
I once bought a big, white case at the fleamarket, which had been in service
at a power station. One label said "LAN BRIDGE REPEATER" or something to that
effect, and when I finally wedged it open, it seemed to be a VME system. The
"main" board had two 68020s, one at 16 and one at 20 or 24 MHz. The system
also had a floppy drive, which was accessed at startup, and spome status
lights. Other boards had several serial ports, AUI and some other ports which
I couldn't recognise. The case had once been rackmouted, and had the mounting
brackets still.
Bay have since been bought by another companym which in turn has been bought
by yet another, which made finding information about it quite impossible. Why
do people feel such a desire to dismantle the web sites of conquered
companies?
Unfortunately, I had to throw it away when I moved to my new, cramped home. =(
Sounds like a Bay Networks router or ethernet bridge...
They were bought by Nortel... good luck finding docs.
Souns like it may be a late 1980's or early 1990's piece... similar
to Cisco AGS routers.
