Wow. You really want to operate a 3290 in this age? It must be 30 years old; but then I guess they were built to last. ISTR mine weighed in around 75 lbs. (some people thought it was bolted down), and that maybe a newer and somewhat lighter model came out later. Must have been the mid-'90s.
Anyway, my gut says you could buy a couple 24" displays for what that monster will cost you in power & cooling for a year. It got pretty hot. sas On Fri, Apr 28, 2017 at 4:39 PM, Feller, Paul <[email protected]> wrote: > I have not seen a 3290 in years, but I think the next few ports in the > 3174 become dead ports.
