Hi,
Here is a Data General modle 10 that I just for sale on E-bay. The
owner says that it has a dead CPU but it looks VERY complete and includes
the original software disks and manuals. It also has four terminals with
it. It looks like a nice item for a DEC collector (I'm not.)
If someone buys it and wants to try and get it running again I also
have a model 10 that I'll sell that you can use for parts. I don't know if
mine works but it looks complete except for the hard drive is missing.

It's eBay item number 1240936666. I really appreciate your offer of
passing it along to others on your mailing list. As I mentioned, the
