I have a 3B2/600 to give to whomever wants it. It belonged to the local AT&T
group here in Orlando FL (as an asset tag), and is apparently the only survivor
of three that fed Usenet into the Central Florida area. It works fine, boots
without problem, and includes a console terminal, keyboard, user books, and a
number of tapes. One of those is said to be a bootable tape with a complete
backup. Sixteen megs ram, two 120 meg SCSI drives, 5.25" floppy and tape
drives. It does not have an net card, though: that died and was removed before
I got it, nor does it have any disks.
I don't have any time to devote to the poor thing, it looks all forlorn sitting
in the corner, and I'd really like to see it go to someone who has the time to
get the thing running. Obviously, due to the size and weight, I can not ship
it, but it is here to be picked up in east Orange County, Fla, pretty much
anytime. If you are close by in a surrounding county, I would be willing to
bring it to you.
If interested, <mailto:mflang_at_bellsouth.net>
or <mailto:qillerpenguin_at_hotmail.com>
and we'll arrange pickup/drop off.
Max.
(ps: during the last week of June and first week of July, I will be in the
Davenport (Scott County) area of Iowa, and if someone in the surrounding area
is interested in it, let me know, as I'd also be willing to bring it for
delivery.)
