[Rainbow users: please look the other way...] PRO-350: 512Kb memory 33Mb hard disk (may be busted, see below) EBO and Color Monitor TMS, with phone backplate and 2 desk sets Ethernet board Extras: LA100 Printer Upright stand Docs: Hardware manual P/OS Docset; the 7-volume grey set. Misc Software: Toolkit, Comm, Pascal, DECUS C, Kermit, PRO/Sight, Synergy, and probably some stuff I've forgotten about. What's wrong with it: I had a power supply connector problem a while back that apparently caused trash to get written on the disk, in such a way that I can't get it to work with P/OS 2.0 anymore. 1.5 works, which I think indicates that the bad-block table is bashed. Odds are replacing the disk will get the more modern software working, as everything worked perfectly before the disk went bad, and seems to work fine under 1.5. What do I want for it? I don't have a very clear idea what this antiquated equipment is worth, in these days of under-$2000 68K machines with megabytes of disk and ram etc, so I think I'll just leave it on a "best offer" basis. No reasonable offer will be refused. I'd prefer to sell it as a set, 'cause it's less headaches, but if you're interested in some piece or other, let me know, and maybe we can work something out.
