AT&T 7300

The 7300/3B1 was capable of running SYSV R3.1, I had a 3B1 with 3.2 because I worked at the hotline. I was never able to get the ethernet board so I resorted to Starlan. I still have 1 7300 and an RS232 NAU. My 3B1 first died in 88, the power supply went. I build a board to convert a PC power supply to the 3B1 power supply connector. I also added an AC fan to keep it cool and quiet. I still have the tape drive and probably the RS232 ports and 8088 board for it. I also have the software. I seemed to recal being able to reset all the passwords via the menu system so as long as you could get in you could reset all the passwords. Oh, I also still have the 8 head mods to the hard drive system. You would swap in a 2010 for the WD1010 and solder on this mod to get the extra head. Unfortunately the 3B1 went out the door when the drive died (80M, $939 to replace). I then started with Linux on a 386SX/16. I still have that one but the keyboard controller is fried but Linux still runs. -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry ncherry(a)home.net http://members.home.net/ncherry (Text only) http://meltingpot.fortunecity.com/lightsey/52 (Graphics) http://linuxha.sourceforge.net/ (SourceForge)
