What would you pay for an experienced, proven home-performing UNIX system of your very own? Before you answer, just take a look at this incredible list of features: Complete UNIX-PC hardware, including 68010 processor, monitor, keyboard, mouse, floppy and hard drive, 1200-baud internal modem, serial and parallel ports, and all the fixings. This machine started life as a 7300, but has now been upgraded with several 3b1 components. Current disk is ~43MB, system has 2MB RAM with Combo Card which also gives you 2 extra serial ports for a total of 3. And a printer port is included absolutely free. Fabulous UNIX-PC software from AT&T, including 3.51 operating system, the elusive calendar, development utilities, extended editors, text processing system, graphics drivers, installation disks and *MANUALS* for all of same! But wait, there's more: A 'ls -C' list of public-domain software longer than your screen, including gcc, rcs, config, C news (working!), nn, pathalias, elm, faces, many FSF utilities, yaman, perl, afio, month, spiff, and more. And what about manuals for all the PD stuff? But of course! Many are supplied both in on-line and paper form. Better yet, the manuals are 8.5 by 11, rather than the wimpy original size!!!!! Ready to make an offer? Hold on, there's more to come: If you act now, we will throw in some SPARE HARDWARE!!!!!!!! Yes, a complete replacement monitor (7300 style case), 7300 power supply, and original 20MB disk are your absolutely FREE if you order now. Plus a WD-2010 chip that won't work with this drive!!!! But what happens if you find bugs? No problem! ALL the source for the PD utilities are included *free* on floppies. We will supply you 3 (count 'em) 3 ring binders full of source code at NO CHARGE for the floppies. We'll even throw in enough disks to do TWO COMPLETE backups!!!!!! Does this system have potential? Absolutely! Consider that this is an unmodified 7300 motherboard. That means that if you (or a trusted friend) are handy with a soldering iron, you can: o Increase the drive capacity by 37% by enabling heads 9-11; o Add a second drive; o Increase the motherboard memory to 2MB, giving you 3.5MB; o Replace the expired battery We'll even throw in the shipping! In original containers, yet! Would you give $10,000 for this? $5000? Well how about the incredibly low price of $1200 --or-- Best Offer??? I'll even throw in a few hours of free advice on managing the thing once you get it.
