But the bottom line is, these are wonderful little machines, very
reliable, compact, and compatible with a remarkable variety of operating
systems.
To expand on my Linux mention, I ran Debian, 2.2 kernel, and X11 with
AfterStep as my hacking machine for a while, a little over 10 years ago.
I was quite happy with it. NetBSD was also solidly supported on this
architecture. Unfortunately I never had much time to play with A/UX.

Is there any interest in these? If not the whole system, there are a
couple of 'special' boards in them:
- Pro Tools Audiocard
- Sound Accelerator II
- Radius Accelerated 24-bit Graphics
They are located in the Vancouver area, B.C., Canada. I could extract
and ship boards, I don't expect they are worth shipping whole units.
.. just thought I'd ask/offer, eWaste otherwise.
Save! They run Linux/m68k, NetBSD, etc, quite nicely - or System 7, of
course.
