Hi All,
I'm going to post this to the list. I hate getting involved or starting with flame
wars / or character bashing but I think I'm pretty nice and don't deserve this.
I offer the computer up to the list before scrapping or ebay or whatever. It seems that
Tothwolf was nice enough to
post to the list my response to him but not his response to me. There's a bunch of
you on the list who I've worked with in the past
and I'm happy to work with you in the future. To call a spade a spade, it's my
computer. I paid for it. I can do what I want with it.
I've made it no secret that I'm out of work and I have to pair down my collection.
Some I sell, ie Sequent and I made my AMT Dap available on the list, others
might have to be parted out (ie non functioning systems). Some might have to go to scrap
(ie. Diablo drives that people don't want to ship).
I don't like that I have to do this, it's just a fact of life. I have bills to
pay and I don't want to lose my house and other things I do value.
I'm not saying boo-hoo poor me. I'm just stating a fact. I have lots of
beautiful systems that will stay with me for quite some time more
and I won't let them go until the very end.
All this said, don't beat me up for what I have to do. I think I was being good by
offering it up to the list. I paid more then $150 for it
but I just don't have an interest in it. WIth all this said, I'm going to
coordinate with who wrote me first, second etc. and get this system to a new
home.
Thanks.
Rob

I've been out of work longer than that yet you don't see me posting "Give me
money or the computer gets it" messages to classiccmp. If Jay were around these days
you'd probably have been removed from the list for even posting such stuff.

I'm not going to part it out to sell, I'm
going to scrap it. I've had this for a couple of years and now I'm offering it to
the list.
I'm not breaking the bank at $150 but I've been out of work for 6 months and I
need to make sure I have money for my bills and family.
I'll get just under this in scrap value. I'm sorry but I need the money more
then I need this machine.

I have a Sequent SE20 with Dynix installed. I
also have the terminal to go with it.
It use to boot but I didn't have the password.
Any interst for $150 before I part it out.

Part out a Sequent SE20? You are kidding, right? As uncommon as these are, parting one
out would be very ill-advised and there would be nearly no demand for individual parts. If
freight wouldn't be a deal killer, I'd be after this one myself, but I'm
nowhere near there and these things are heavy. I generally hunt for older Unix systems for
free/open source software porting work, and one of the target platforms I've never
been able to test with is Dynix.
