In light of the latest push to get users to upgrade their older boxes to the MIS series systems, some of you may need to get riid of some of your 9800 equipment. I have two 9825's and am looking for cpu's memory boards and just about anything else to go in them. I am not willing to pay the prices that pyramid wants for them so I figured I would go out and see if there was anything lying around. I figure Pyramid isn't giving anything for the stuff either, unless you upgradee. Since my budget cannot handle the cost of the upgrade I want to get the most firepower out of these boxes as I can. If you have some parts you want to sell off let me know. Wayne J.

I just don't fancy buying anything from Pyramid, after the upgrade proposal they sent out. For machines a little over two years old, it was shocking. /**********************************************************************\ /* DISCLAIMER: I am using this site (sjuphil) as my only link to the *| /* net.

I have two 9825's and am looking for cpu's memory boards and just
about anything else to go in them. I am not willing to pay the
prices that pyramid wants for them so I figured I would go out and
see if there was anything lying around.
Wow! I thought parts scavengers only hunted for used 8E, 11/70 and
780 pieces. Times change, progress rolls forward, and even newer,
niftier stuff like the 9825 is considered "old stuff just lying
around, waiting to be gotten rid of." I wonder how long until an
IOP/TPE is hung on a cubicle wall and looked upon with the same
nostalgic fondness as, say, a clapped-out DZ-11?
Now I feel old...
