Hi,
Just PackRatted a NCR 3400 system from a house
on the next blok.............
It'll be legaly on topic in 2.5 month from now
Seems it could run OS2 2.0 and UNIX SRV4
It's got a Exabyte tapestreamer (propably a 8200-type)
and a few SCSI HD's
It's got RAM-modules with 7 chips each, which seems a
rather odd number to me. In 3 Banks of 8 Modules.
They look a bit like 30-pin simms ..........
Does anyone know if it's value is more than
a rather heavy boat-anchor

Not the thing you typically find in a residential area...

Close enough for me.

I used to work in a group at Lucent (in Columbus, OH) that
maintained Suns and NCR 34xx machines. How many MicroChannel
SCSI cards does yours have? Ethernet?

If you want to run multi-processor UNIX (NCR's MP-RAS) on what
are probably P-90 chips, it's a fine little beast. Otherwise,
it's an I/O-heavy desktop machine. A giant PeeCee, really.
I was told that you could stick in a DOS boot floppy and play
DOOM on one. Never got the chance, though. :-)

1 x SCSI, 0 x Ethernet although i may have an IBM one somewhere

Hmm, was afraid of that, more or less .............
I'll propably will salvage usable parts from it and turn to
more vintage stuff like Sun or Intergraph stations for projects ..........
If somebody is in dire need of a low weight part of this machine ?
Let me know (soon! ;-)

BTW, for all you microchannel-heads out there. I have quite a few 100Mbps
Ethernet cards for microchannel new in box.
Peace... Sridhar
