Pics of the 3B2 stuff, if anyone is interested.
Like I said, I think Seth is taking these. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1kt4K6UMy54kNjzgL-1t_iwXm6RqsfJVJ?usp =sharing Cindy Croxton Electronics Plus 1613 Water Street Kerrville, TX 78028 830-370-3239 cell sa...@elecplus.com AOL IM elcpls --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
3B2 stuff
It is just the manuals. Seth answered me and I am pretty sure he is going to take them. I don't have the 200 pound hardware anymore.

Thanks Cindy, I hope they turn up some reference manuals or schematics. I guess if any place would have them, it would be a place that supported the hardware. -Seth -- Seth Morabito w...@loomcom.com
Re: 3B2 stuff-maybe
Thanks. I must check my 3B2/400 and the 3B1. The first one had some issues but I don't touched it for a long time.

3B2 stuff-maybe
I called the only place I know of that supported 3B2 stuff, which is Communications Hardware in TX. They recently had a change in technicians, and a lot of the older stuff they no longer support got culled, but they are willing to look for boards, drives, or whatever would help the collectors get their machines up and running again. I described the documentation set to them, and they will look for it. Any parts you want, send me a list, and they will hunt for me. Cindy Croxton
Re: Sale with a lot of ATT 3B2 stuff
I've seen this vendor's stuff before but their prices were so off the wall, I just laughed and moved on.

Re: Sale with a lot of ATT 3B2 stuff
I didn't like his prices either, but I wanted to put the 3Bx eyeballs on this in case there was something they needed for the emulator project. Breaking out what I consider to be spares from the Symbolics sale is what I referred to in my post below, but didn't put it in such language. At least he's not the psycho in Colorado Springs vintagecomputermuseum or whatever he calls himself. I wish he had gone off on me now, because I think I'd have a case to get him booted, and he truly is an asshole. I just pointed out a bit of info on one of his auctions several years ago and he went nuts. I think he considers his "knowledge" similarly to his penis size and if you challenge it he feels his manhood is threatened. The goal is find these things and convey them to deserving places around these sorts of idiots. thanks Jim On 10/28/2015 2:54 PM, Alan Hightower wrote: (Jerry you are not a terrible person for saying that) I have similar thoughts.

Re: Sale with a lot of ATT 3B2 stuff
I know I'm a terrible person for saying this, but as a person who spent several years as a 3b2 admin for $WORK, and would like to be able to work with the operating system again, the sellers prices alone are enough for me to be happy for Seth's 3b2 emulator project, when ever it is complete enough for usage. I finally found a new home for my Sun E4500 a few years back, a similar sized box to the 3b2 600G and 600GR systems I had administered in my earlier days. The E4500 generated so much heat my wife would only let me run it during the winter months. Either way, thanks for sharing, I enjoyed looking.
