er list, a public library is considering disposing of
the
following: "AT&T Sequent, WYSE terminals, router, bridges, hubs, printers,
UPS , etc." and is interested in trying to determine the "value" of this
equipment. They're asking for a "bluebook" showing the values of old
computers and such (I don't think such a beast exists, but. .. )
Actually there is a computer blue book. It might cover the Wyse terminals
but it is more PC based. It has some mini stuff but I doubt the Sequent,
routers, bridges UPS etc. Pawn shops use it to evaluate what they will loan
on equipment. They are published by Orion Research Corp. in Durango
Colorado. It is published yearly and cost about $150. It is actually blue
colored.
I could help evaluate it if they want to contact me off list. I suspect they
would be shocked at the actual valuation. Of course it depends on the age of
the equipment.
It might be a candidate for a rescue though. Is anyone on the list running a
Sequent.
