- I would also like to have some idea of 3B2 system and AT&T terminal worth.
- Please respond via EMAIL to the internet address contained in my .sig at
- the end of this message. I am not looking to get rid of these systems just
- yet, but the march of technology and changing needs may force a switch to PC
- and/or MAC platforms. Of course, configurations are really necessary
- (I think) to price these beasts with any degree of accuracy, so here is a
- listing of systems and configurations upon which I would like opinions on
- value. All reasonable opinions are welcome:
-
- 3B2/400: 4 MB RAM, 72 MB HD, Floppy, System V 2.0.4
- 5 PORTS cards (4 serial, 1 parallel each)
- MAU, CTC, 30 MB cartridge tape unit,
- no operating system media; preinstalled on HD
- AT&T Office Telesystem installed; no media
-
- 3B2/500: 8 MB RAM, 147 MB internal HD, floppy, System V 3.1.1
- 60 MB cartridge tape unit, MAU, 3 EPORTS cards (8 serial ports
- each), 1 PORTS card (4 serial, 1 parallel), Starlan card (NAU),
- SCSI card, VCACHE, 147 MB external HD w/controller (separate box)
-
