OK, I've finally decided I'm never going to get a chance to play with
this, so it's looking for a new home where it can receive the love
and attention it deserves.
It's one of those black stacking motorola machines - just pile up
discs on top ... (and connect the scsi and control and power cables
on the back..)
Main unit. P/N 01-W2522D01A. Second bay P/N 01-W2519D01A.
Boards are labled MVME 187 and I/O. Latter has the scsi and control
on it, 4xserial and 10baseT and AUI ports.
And it's got a tape drive in it. No floppy.
My understanding is that this machine was only in service for a
matter of months, maybe even weeks, then the user reverted back to
their previous (accounts) system and this ended up under a desk for
the next several years, before I rescued it. It's therefore not been
powered up for about ten years ... I assume it's still loaded up with
whatever it ran (Unix, SVR4 from memory, plus applications).
It comes with no cables, no documentation, no passwords... I believe
you can run NetBSD on it..
Free to loving home, for collection only from Salford, near Manchester, UK.
Also available at the same time (take them, please!!!) two or three
Wyse dumb terminals (Wy-120 and Wy-30), at least one of another make,
multiple pentium-1 and 486 PCs in various conditions, some printers,
monitors, etc.
Interested parties please email me on robert at irrelevant dot com.
