[Note: I'm not an engineer, nor do I play one on television. I don't even have the hardware manual for the 3b1. :-] 1. Get/build a 680x0 based SingleBoardComputer, and put a 99 pin cardedge connector on it. 2. Disable the busdriver and cpu on the 3b1. 3. Get the sources for unix :-), and recompile them on/for the SBC. 4. Turn it on and let it rip. Somehow, I didn't think so either... -- J. Eric Townsend | "Enter, oh seeker of knowledge...

I was talking to my local AT&T representitive the other day and he informed me that Educational Institutions can get 3b1 system sources with some kind of limited licence for the magic number of $3000. Commercial licences are still going for the typical GNP of a third world country, but if you happen to be attached to a university, $3K is pretty reasonable. :alex Alex Crain Systems Programmer alex@umbc3.umbc.edu Univ Md Baltimore County umbc3.umbc.edu!nerwin!alex

Re: price of source of UNIX PC to educational institutions ... Any Universal Life ministers out there? How 'bout forming the "Churh of Latter Day Hackers". UNIX *IS* a religion, isn't it? :-) Then maybe we'd get a double discount: (1) educational, and (2) religious. No flames, please; it's hot enough here (95+ in N.Calif); my brain must be fried BOTH by the heat and by "doing" taxes. :-) :-) Thad Floryan [thad@cup.portal.com (OR) ..!sun!portal!cup.portal.com!thad]
