I have most of the stuff to put together a System 3.
I have the card
cage with the 21-slot motherboard and a bunch of cards. The manuals I
got with the system include the Cromix manual, I have more than 1 64-K
RAM card and at least one TPU, so I believe that mine was a multi-user
system. I would like to put this back to near-original, but need a case
and power supply.
Since I have been unable to find any power supplies which provide the
+/- 8 and +/- 16 volts, I just thought of an idea the other day of using
a PC power supply and shorting out the on-board voltage regulators to
allow them to work at the +5V and +12V of the power supply. In order to
do that though, I would need a small (3-5 slot) motherboard to test a
couple of cards together.
If anyone has any of these available, I would be interested in obtaining
them. I do not have much money, but do have some other old computer
stuff that I can trade: a VAX Station 2000, an old Sun workstation,
many, many old PC parts and systems, lots of electronic parts, lots of
microcontroller stuff including several Dev Kits.
Are you set on having a System 3 chassis for this? I think I have at
least one more 21-slot chassis, the name of which I'm not at all sure of.
