Not a _great_ score, as I'll have to pay real cash for it, but I
picked up an Altos ACS 8000-2 today, to be delivered the 15th. Yay!
Now I guess I _really_ need to find the CP/M man pages.....
Also grabbed:
Quadra 700 $1
A spare CPU and 2 more drive drawers for the NEC Risc Server I'll be
working on this weekend. Anybody with any info on this one -
a dual-CPU RT-4620-27A5S - is more than welcome to chime in.
(Update: the NEC seems to have cabling/termination issues on
the RAID backplane. Project on hold pending documentation)
An IBM Model 9577-ATG PS/2 - 486DX4/100 w/ Future Domain SCSI adapter,
32M ram, token ring, and 541M SCSI hdd. Which I'll be working
on instead of the NEC box.... $4
Spare Future Domain MCA SCSI, internal cable & 1G drive Free
A box (6) of Model 77 CPU stands Free
A CPU stand for my 7043-140 (I think) Free
2 SCSI cold-swap drive drawers (narrow SCSI) w/Connor drives installed.
No model on the drives yet $5 each
2 Piper 16 MCA sound cards Free
1 Tandon full-height 48tpi 5.25" floppy (TM100?) $.50
1 Mitsumi 5.25" floppy w/full-height black bezel and "EMI cage."
Haven't looked at the model # yet. $.50
1 No-labelled full-height 5.25" floppy. Black bezel, center trap
latch, not a rotating lever. $.10

Cool computer. I have one on the floor behind me, although, I think
your 77 may be a Lacuna. Mine is a Bermuda.

Cool, the Future Domain cards are pretty good cards, although they are
PIO, not busmastering.

Wow, I had to inquire on usenet to find mine. I had never seem one in
peson until I got it. They're nice to have.

Thats' something I've never messed with yet. Maybe someday I'll pick up
a microchannel sound card on Ebay.

Yup. I also have a Bermuda (-0NF). Big diffs are the Lacuna's

BTW, there used to be m/b schematics online for both boards. Do you
happen to have a URL?

I wonder who this page is by. If you do to Louis's own page, he gives
links to several mirrors. He seems to be concentrating on RS/6000's and
the PC RR, or whatever it is called.

Oops, I meant RT PC. I think it was the precursor to the RS/6000 line.
