The 4066/XE's belong to the US Government. From what I understand,
when an agency excesses a machine it is up for grabs by any other
federal agency, then state agency, local government, schools etc.
until it is sold at GSA auction which is where you should look.

Not that I'm aware of. We are supporting a couple
hundred Dell 4066/XE
Interactive Unix servers which are at the end of their life cycle and
being replaced by Compaq Proliant 2500 and 5000 servers. We have one
in-house 4066/XE for building root drives for field servers. All other
times the 4066/XE sleeps.
What (tell me please) are you/they doing with the XE's as they are replaced? I
would love to get sme parts such as a Pentium upgrade board to make it a
45xx/XE
as well as drive rails, hard drives, hard drive mounts, etc and I wouldn't
even
mind considering some for purchase if reasonable enough. Sure they are heavy
but
in the process of messing with this one I thought what agreat machine for a
local church group that runs 15-20 machines and has limited funds, to be able
to
run their homeschool machines with the same software available.
I guess I ought to take this to private email as well....

Found an easy path to the info you need:
1. Access www.dell.com
Marty is your Phoenix bios in your 4066/XE at A17? This is supposed to fix lot of
things including some sort of Y2K bug. Just installed it and it works
nearly
invisible. It's on Dell's web site or FTP as
4xxXEA17.EXE
