I have a WICAT Systems Model 3220 computer for sale. Specs: 1 CPU board - Motorola 68020, 68881 Math Coprocessor, 68851 Memory Management Unit 2 4 Megabyte Ram boards 1 SMD controller, with an onboard controller for an Alloy DEI 1/4" cartridge tape. 1 CIPHER tape controller board, 9 track 1/2" tape controller 1 Multibus 3-Com Ethernet board in a multibus adapter card. 2 Intelligent Communications boards, each contains 16 serial ports and 1 parallel port. In addition there are two serial ports on the CPU board, for a total of 34 serial and two parallel ports. The system is currently configured with two SMD drives, an 80 Megabyte and a 160 Megabyte. The system has two tape drives 1 CIPHER brand 9 track reel-to-reel 1/2" tape drive. 1 Alloy DEI 1/4" cartridge tape drive. Software The system is currently running WICAT's WMCS operating system, which is a sort of mix of Unix and VAX VMS. It has features from both. It is a true preemptive multi-user multi-tasking system. The OS features KSAM (Keyed Sequential Access Method, B+ tree) files as an integral feature, batch and print queues, a shell with an interpreted shell language, No limit on the number of processes, number of open files and a transparent networking method that lets the operating system service calls operate as easily on a remote machine as they do on the local. So that a process can create other processes, send interprocess-mail, use pipes, files, get status of things remotely or locally with the same methods. The OS has Logical Names (or environment variables in Unix terms) and much more. Since I work at WICAT and am the Developer for the this OS I know all about its features. I can also get UNIX System V.2 for this machine if desired. The WMCS OS is the most recent, and includes compilers for C, Pascal, and Fortran 77. The UNIX includes C and Fortran 77 compilers. The system is my home machine currently running WMCS 8.3.5 and usenet/mail software that I ported and wrote (I am using it to post this message.) If interested call me at (801) 224-6400 extension 276. Asking $3000.00 Negotiable. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- I _DON'T_ live for the leap!
