This was the box System V Release 4 Unix was ported on. The Amiga Unix was based on the AT&T SVR4 code -- an old colleague of mine worked on both at AT&T and Commodore. My wife owned one as well... it was AT&T's attempt to (pre-NCR) go intot the commercial computer business against DEC and Sun and the early office automation/mini/workstation folks. It had an AT&T designed 32 bit microcomputer. The 3b product line ran 3b2/310 up through at least a 3b2/1000. They all ran SysVRel 3.2 and later SVR4 Unix. TCP was an expensive add-on product.

Hi Jim, the "C 900" is a Z-8001 based computer, that never got into production ... ... but some hundred machines were delivered to developers.

I already had his site bookmarked and I purchased some items from a few years back. John ----- Original Message ----- From: "Director" <csmuseum at cse.uta.edu> To: "'General Discussion: On-Topic Posts Only'" <cctech at classiccmp.org> Sent: Monday, July 11, 2005 10:43 AM Subject: Sigh!

Vintage Computer Festival wrote: Anticlimactically, it dropped in my lap. About February, an email came in asking a few of us if we wanted equipment. The 77 year old owner had not touched the equipment in years, and decided it needed to go (taking up room). I responded affirmatively. Further details emerged, that the man had been given 3 or 4 other collections as friends departed the scene. I also inferred the owner was a packrat. After some scheduling conflicts, I was able to hike over to Kenosha, WI last weekend. I had originally planned to take a small (4x8) trailer, but decided the owner must be exaggerating the amount of equipment, so I just took a small platform bike rack and some moving boxes. I arrived to find the "mother of all packrats". I rather wished I had brought the trailer. For various reasons, the owner had not started packing, so we spent 8 years packing and loading. I managed to get it all in the shortbed quad cab truck (with topper), but not a square foot to spare. Among the pieces I saw in passing as I stuffed the truck: 2 Extended Density CMD FD-4000 3.5" drives 10 boxes of the ED media for them. 4 FD-2000 drives 3 C128s 1 C128D 1 CMD HD 1 RAMLink 2 SuperCPU units (1 128, 1 64) 1 C65 (including 220 PS brick and step up transformer) The 3B2 A500 A1000 2 collections of Fred Fish disks 4 or 5 collections of Commodore magazines, including Creative Computing, early Compute!, Ahoy!, Compute's Gazette, Commodore Power/Play, Commodore Microcomputing, etc. I left some UNIX Review, C User's Journal, Dr. Dobb's, etc. If someone is close to WI and interested in those mags, let me know. An Apple //c complete system A TRS-80 Coco3 system Tons of 5.25" disks Lots of commercial software, including disk masters, boxes, manuals, registration cards, etc. To give an idea of the breadth of collecting, the man gave me a sack of freebie ISP disks/CDs (AOL, Earthlink, Compuserve, etc.) Some are from the start of that fad. I started unpacking last night, and quickly realized I am woefully not equipped for this amount of stuff. It's going to take me a month to sort. I'm putting my 7 year old in charge of cataloguing the magazines. At least I unloaded enough so the overload bumpers aren't mashed against the axle now.
