I'd be very very interested in the 3b2 stuff, especially if it's the
sort with it's software still inside.

A fellow had a garage sale recently with a lot of classic hardware,
and we got to talking about classic computer resources online, and I
offered to post whatever he might have left-over to the list in
case anyone is interested.
He's got:
A MIPS Magnum 4000PC.50
(2) AT&T 3B2/310 with many (!) boxes of documentation
Motorola PPC 801
A Cray Amber terminal
(2) SCSI1 External DAT drives.
misc AT era PC cases/motherboards
borken laser printer
Epson LQ1100 dot matrix printer
I don't know any further details about this stuff, and he's mostly
looking to just get rid of it. If you have serious inquiries and
really want one or more items, I can pass along questions.
He'd rather see this stuff go to a nice home rather than to the
recycler, but he's under some pressure to get rid of it this week.
If you'd like something off the list, here's my preference list:
1. Pick up in Champaign/Urbana, Illinois. If you want something and
can pick it up over the Summer, I can store it at my storage place
until you can stop by, before August please. Make an offer, no
reasonable offer refused. He's looking for garage sale money here,
nothing over $20. I'm justmiddle-manning for the sake of the
community and preservation.
2. Meet me at the Dayton Hamvention. I'll drag items to the
Hamvention and you take them from me Thursday night or Friday.
Hey, if you want something off his list, you get a guaranteed
good bargain at the Hamvention without even scrounging!
3. We could ship if you're really interested in an time. We'll
fix pricing at 125% of the packing/shipping costs, which should
work out about the same as shipping + what he was asking at the
garage sale.
Like I said, I'll be passing all the money back to him; I'm just
acting as a go-between to save some nifty machines that I just
don't have time to work on.
Thanks,
Dan
