Ok, not very classic yet (not for another couple of years), but their
"coolness factor" is pretty high, so...
For a total of about $50, I just picked up three NCR System 3400 series
MCA machines. They're pretty impressive, both in features and in weight,
especially when one considers that not many manufacturers outside of IBM
ever did MicroChannel buses.
One has a pair of Seagate 'Elite' drives (2.9 gig SCSI) along with two
Maxtor 8760S's, and another has dual 486 CPU's, an Exabyte 8200, and a QIC
tape drive. A little digging has turned up that they'll run NT, Solaris,
and a few others. NCR still had all the support disks and files on their
web site, so that's taken care of.
Onward!
