I would not, normally, post a "For Sale" notice to this newsgroup, but seeing as how we are dealing with some relatively highly specialized equipment that would not have broad appeal... We have available 4 1108 workstations plus a Comm Server and FileServer (with 2 300Mbyte removable drives), immediately. All of these are in fine working order and our reasons for selling them belong more in "comp.sys.xerox.corporate.flame" so I won't post them here. All reasonable offers will be considered; these are good machines but they (and their parent company), simply no longer fit into our future plans. All come with Ethernet transceivers, Services 10, and floppy's and development disks for XDE, Koto Lisp, and Viewpoint 1.0.1. If you would like to consider being a home to these well behaved (if just a bit immature) products, please E-mail me at this address or call me at (412) 648-9600.

Sean, As PI of the Xerox university grant, I'm not convinced the servers are yours to sell. However, I expect the issue is moot in any case. Please make sure that you only sell Xerox grant equipment and that none of the machines are ONR-provided. Those require special deaccession procedures. The best approach is to provide the serial numbers to me for all processors-- for a final check. If you were to simply return the Print server to me rather than selling it, I'd appreciate it--since that is the only barrier we have to keeping Stellan Ohlsson up and running to his new equipment money comes in. I believe I have the right to request that it be relocated here in any case. --Alan
