Hi everyone! I went to the University of Michigan Property Dispotition warehouse today, and I've got a couple of questions and other related things to say. 1. To the couple of people who asked me about the NeXTDimension Cube that was there last month, my apologies, but someone else got to it before I could. 2. I saw a DEC pedestal cabinet there that looked exactly like a VAX 4000 series machine, but it was just labeled "R 4000". I'm assuming this was some sort of VAX, and there seems to have been a thread on the NetBSD/vax mailing list about it a while back, but since their mailing list archive server seems to be down at the moment, can anyone tell me more about this machine? I'm a bit curious as to what it is. 3. There was an interesting looking Evans & Sutherland computer there labeled as an ES-3. I popped the front cover off of it and it looked relatively sophisticated, but I didn't actually pull any boards and get a good look at them since they don't like people doing that sort of thing there at the warehouse. I read somewhere that this box runs UNIX and had some pretty nice graphics capabilities for its time. Does anyone know much about these (e.g. architechture, history, OS specifics, etc)? Does anyone know how they stacked up to SGIs of the era and similar competing machines? The thing's kind of heavy and transportation to and from the warehouse is pretty evil for me, but if its a really nifty machine, I'd like to save it (I've certainly never seen one before). Unfortunately there didn't seem to be any monitor, keyboard, or mouse included with it. Does anyone know any specifics about these either? Hmmm... other oddiments there that were kind of interesting included a dual 8" Data General floppy disk drive, an old SGI POWER SERIES Twin Tower machine, and probably some other stuff that I'm forgetting. Just thought I'd mention them in case someone lived in the area and was interested in taking a look.
