I live in Canada. But when I did live in Australia, I actually used an

I saw what I believe was a Motorola based Aviion tower in a junk pile in a scrap pile a
few years ago. I remember asking the list if anyone wanted me to retrieved it. There were
no replies.
Damn, been looking for one forever.

was hardly a museum
quality piece. It's obvious rareness made me think someone could have
used parts. But I'll keep you in mind if I should come across another.
Thankyou. I have the DG/UX to run on it* but narrowly missed out (by a
couple of weeks) on the corresponding hardware.
