I'm slightly downsizing my office space and need to get rid of my 3600.
It's free for the taking. I am in Arlington Massachusetts (USA).
This is a Symbolics 3600 lisp machine. The original 3600 design.
Huge circuit boards. 36 bit memory. A gigantic fan. Cool red LED nano-fep.
One of the coolest microcoded machines I've ever seen. And it runs
off 110VAC.
It's very heavy. The CPU cabinet is about the size of a large refrigerator.
The two 14" disks are mounted in a DEC 1/2 height rack with no sides.
The SMD disks have 14" platters and clear plastic tops.
It used to work fine but I have turned it on in a few years. I have a full set
of spare boards. I think I even have a color board and paddle.
I think it has Genera 7.2 on it, but I'm not sure. It booted fine last
time I turned it on.
To me it is a thing of beauty, but I'm just not table to store it anymore
and I have a 3640 and XL1200 which are much easier to care for
(and much easier to move :-)
Anyone want a piece of history? If so show up with a truck and at
least 2 hefty guys and it's yours.
Both cabinets are on wheels. Batteries not included.
