I think the trader appears from time to time at the market, so it could make sense to be on the lookout. Now, if only I had an Apollo to plug them into, it would make more sense. BTW, does anyone know anything about Bay networking systems? I once bought a big, white case at the fleamarket, which had been in service at a power station. One label said "LAN BRIDGE REPEATER" or something to that effect, and when I finally wedged it open, it seemed to be a VME system. The "main" board had two 68020s, one at 16 and one at 20 or 24 MHz. The system also had a floppy drive, which was accessed at startup, and spome status lights. Other boards had several serial ports, AUI and some other ports which I couldn't recognise. The case had once been rackmouted, and had the mounting brackets still. Bay have since been bought by another companym which in turn has been bought by yet another, which made finding information about it quite impossible. Why do people feel such a desire to dismantle the web sites of conquered companies? Unfortunately, I had to throw it away when I moved to my new, cramped home. =( -- En ligne avec Thor 2.6a.
