Fwd: Just relisted DATA GENERAL DG Mdl 10 Computer System. - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

25 May 2001

Hi,

      Here is a Data General modle 10 that I just for sale on E-bay. The 
owner says that it has a dead CPU but it looks VERY complete and includes 
the original software disks and manuals. It also has four terminals with 
it.  It looks like a nice item for a DEC collector (I'm not.)

      If someone buys it and wants to try and get it running again  I also 
have a model 10 that I'll sell that you can use for parts. I don't know if 
mine works but it looks complete except for the hard drive is missing.

       Joe

Joe,

We just relisted our Data General Desktop Model 10 computer 
system.  Here's the link to it:

It's eBay item number 1240936666.  I really appreciate your offer of 
passing it along to others on your mailing list.  As I mentioned, the 
prices have been reduced.

Thanks again,
