I've got myself a Cisco AGS+ router (1986-1995) and I'm looking for OLD
code versions for it. I got it running Cisco GS/IOS 9.x, but want to
see some early revisions. I believe this particular model can go up to
IOS11.x, but that isn't my goal. I'd like to have examples of "what
was."
Anyone have suggestions on how I could obtain very obsolete code
revisions for Cisco Routers/IOS most likely only historically
significant and not of much technical or monetary value today?
Also, looking for any more info/leads on vintage infrastructure
equipment, and historically significant early models.

The oldest I have are EPROMS with 8.2. They are also IGS, but I think
they can work with the AGS. It has been so long I just do not remember
- the GSs were going out of service when I was getting involved. I
know people that were involved - maybe I can ask.
I ought to just send all the chips (I have quite a few) to Al, if he
is interested. Al?

Bug people that have been in the networking business for junk in the
drawers in the back of their desks. That is what I do.
Historical significant? Nawww..., it just a GS series router. They did
not change the world or anything...
Note: GS routers are not all that common, especially the AGS, because
Cisco tended to use them as trade-ins for 7000s and 7500s, to keep
them out of the used market.

I have an AGS+ as well, but due to the fact that it didn't come with
any cables, I haven't done anything more with it than boot it up and
fiddle on the console.
_My_ take on things is that I'd rather load up a "useful" version of
IOS than a particular historical version, but I can see how it could
be interesting to fiddle with older software on a box that old, given
that, much like a VAX-11/750, an AGS+ router sucks so much power
compared to "modern" equivalents that you'd only run one to play on,
rather than as a 24/7 production box.
I wouldn't mind being kept in the loop for any answers to these sorts
of queries. I have visions of being able to do something useful with
my AGS+... I picked it up about 9 years ago as a box to learn more
about IOS with, but without cables, never got to use it for that (I
did learn IOS on other hardware, but that's an off-topic story ;-)
So count me interested in AGS+ firmware sets, but unable to provide
much at the moment.
