(I'm posting this message for a friend, whose employer
suffered the loss of one of their Apollo nodes recently.
He works for a small company, so this theft hurt them
badly. Any information regarding this matter would be
greatly appreciated; please send any info. to me via
>>MAIL<< (NOT news!), or phone me at (416)-667-0517,
and I'll pass it along to my friend. Thanks! -KAC)
On Saturday, December 9th, several items of computer
equipment were stolen from a Toronto company. They were:
- an Apollo DN4000, Node ID = 130f1, with a 5-1/4"
floppy disc drive, a cartridge tape controller board,
and an ethernet card;
- a QMS-PS 810 laser printer;
- a Danford external cartridge tape drive;
- a Fastcomm 9600 "Turbo" modem.
If you see any such equipment come on the market ("great
deal; real cheap"), and suspect that it might be the stolen
equipment, please contact me, either via email or telephone.
In particular, if people on the net were to do a "bldt"
command on any newly-installed DN4000's that they happen
across in the next few weeks, and compare the resulting
node ID with the one given above, I think that there's
a fair chance of finding out who carried out the theft.
The possibility of a reward (say, for information leading
to recovery of equipment, or prosecution of the thief
or thieves) should >>not<< be ruled out.
Many thanks.
