But I think
that in a day or 2 I'll probably be tied for the
*smallest* classic Unix box in the house. Part of this weekend's haul
was an SE/30, I found an ethernet adapter today, and I went to storage
this evening and dug out the 4M 30-pin SIMM stash. A/UX here I
come....
A/UX runs on SE/30s?
My smallest UNIX boxes are either my PS/2 model E (the size of a single
volume of an encyclopaedia w/2.5" hard disk, 1 ISA slot and a quad-
PCMCIA adapter) or one of my keyboard PCs (a 5"x5" main board, with a
2.5" HD and laptop floppy, built-in NE2K NIC, stashed in a 2"-tall metal
frame that is bolted to a standard-sized 101 key keyboard). Both are
running RedHat.
The PS/2-E does *not* have the LCD monitor that came with it originally,
but at least it was only $15 when I got it. If a monitor is "required"
to complete the system, I would have to say that I typically used it
with a Compaq Aero laptop - a sub-notebook about 40% the size of the
PS/2-E - and Kermit on a serial line for a console, not a keyboard and
tube.
