Hi everyone! I was kindly offered this computer system, but it is
extremely
out of my range. He said it would be alright if I forwarded it to the
list,
so here goes. Contact address and caveats below.

...
 Sean,

 I was hoping that Diable might have been the Diablo
valley here in the San
Francisco area.  I think these machins would be quite expensive to ship ,as
each box is 50lbs+ and each terminal is likely 50lbs as well. 
...
 You may forward my offer to whomever, as long as the
chrismenke(a)excite.com
address is used, and you throw a caveat in there that I would not like to
be contacted regarding anything else. 
...
 As to your Sun stuff, I too am using an IPC as my
household server, but I'm
looking for something to play with on my desktop. 
...
 Cheers,
Chris

 I have a large Micromation computer, which I believe consists of a CPU,
 10 MB 12 inch platter hard drive, and a ancillary box with two 8 inch
 floppies. Also included are two TeleVideo 900 terminals.

 Yours for the shipping, or the pickup, or trade for old Sun stuff if you
 wanna get rid of any.

 Cheers,

Hi! Thanks for your very gracious offer. Just out of curiousity, where
are you located? Depending on if you are nearby, I may be interested,
but if you are outside of the southwest Michigan area it would probably
be prohibitively expensive to ship the entire system.

I've got some older Sun equipment around, nothing spectacular, however.
Primarily old SPARCstation IPC systems that actually would run fine
given hard drives, some RAM, and a live IDPROM. Lots of spare CG3
SBus graphics cards too, but those are probably of limited interest.

If you are out of my range, would it be alright if I were to forward
your offer to the classic computer collector's mailing list? If I am
not capable of finding a home for the system myself, I'm sure there
would be someone who would!

Thanks again,
