- OK. I called USENIX this morning and scheduled a 3B1 BOF session for
- Thursday, January 28, 8 to 10 PM. They said the BOF list to be included in
- the registration packets had already gone to the printers but that the BOF
- would be listed on the board in the registration area. Hope to see many of
- you there!!
-
- Here is a copy of the description that I sent to the folks at USENIX:

- ============================================================================
-
- AT&T 3B1/7300 Users Gathering
-
- David H. Brierley, Raytheon Company
-
- This is the "annual" gathering of folks that either own or are interested in a
- machine known as the AT&T 3B1, or AT&T PC-7300, or AT&T Unix-PC. It is not
- three different machines, just one machine with three names. Since we are not
- big enough to have our own user group meetings we just have BOF sessions at
- other peoples meetings.
-
- The AT&T 3B1/7300 computer is a small 68010 based UNIX machine, originally
- intended by AT&T for an office environment. It did rather poorly in the
- marketplace and around 1986 AT&T decided to discontinue the product and dumped
- their remaining stock onto the market at "firesale" prices. As a result, the
- machine became fairly succesfull as a home hobbyist machine. Unfortunately,
- since the machine is discontinued their is absolutely no support from AT&T so
- the only "support" available is through USENET news and these informal
- gatherings.
