They also sold rebadged Zenith 486/33 64mb Intel motherboard towers
that make great little scsi unix boxes. I run one at home. Built
like a battleship, and twice as heavy, but it runs forever. I bought
one for 5 bucks in MooU surplus, and run FreeBSD on it. Good iron
for that use.
Anyone got a spare Multics tape? If so, donate it to the PDP-11
UNIX Preservation Society as a historical precursor of UNIX.
After all, UNIX got started when Multics pooped out on them.
A little off topic, but while we are threading the rescue of off topic
ditties.... anyone in NC got a spare MicroVAX II, or anyone in the
US got some spare boards for one? I need a boardset for some testing
of some VAXbits.
Thanks
Bob
