There's this site, but that's pretty google-able so you probably know this
one.
http://yahozna.dyndns.org/computers/software/3b2/
but the admin of thisoldmicro.com has a running 3B2 as well. I certainly
believe he has a lot needed for a 3B2.

So I've had a 3b2 sitting on a shelf for the past
few years. Prior to
that, it lived in car trucks and basements, since about November 1993.
Presumably, it was never powered on.
A couple weekends ago, I ran across it while cleaning and, weighing the
risks, connected it to a terminal and powered it on.
It booted happily, checked its disks successfully and allowed me to add an
unprivileged user account.
It's running System V Release 3.1 for the AT&T 3B2, Version 2.
Other than the unsurprisingly dead Tadiran clock battery, it's pretty
cool. It even has an ethernet board.
The one thing I can't do, however, is change the root password because I
don't have the install diskettes. From my research, I've seen that a 3b2
without install disks can be considered "down" for all intents and
purposes.
Can anyone contact me on or off list about getting originals or copies of
the install disks?
Thanks.
