Subject: Lots of machines available
Last time I said I beat up some PCs, many of you were
disturbed. So this
time, I'm warning you before I do it. There are 8 DEC LPv+ 425dx and
433dx machines. They are all 486 DX with RAM from 0 to 16 MB, some have
hard drives around 200 MB, some should have OS/2. They are being thrown
away because they have miscellaneous problems, and we haven't been able
to fix them. I haven't tried, so I don't know what the problems are.
Anyway, first come, first served. Price is 1.2 * shipping.
Those machines is decent ones and LP in it is "Low Profile" desktops
with 3 tree slots ISA I think, space for 3 drives (2 3.5 and 5.25"
external, one is 3.5 internal). I can't remember if one can plug
those DIP cache chips into them. Kinda cloneish than Digital's.
It's nice to know the general problems if you could contact your
friends who "tried" to repair them?
We had them too at NTID (National Techanical Institute of Deaf)
where RIT college is in northern NY. They too went out the door few
years earlier to make room for newer machines for drafting/ CAD
classes.
