I have some UNIX equipment that is surplus to my likely needs, and it's
available for rescue or adoption at no cost.  Unless noted, it's all
presentable and working.

A partial list ...

Sun SPARCserver 470 - Early SPARC 4 machine with VME bus.  Very sexy
louvered cabinet about the size of a small "dorm" refrigerator.  Unknown
amount of RAM.  Sleds but no drives (takes 50-pin SCSI), but I can supply a
small bootable drive.  No OS media, but disk images are available on the
'net. I may be able to supply SunOs 4.1.4.  This machine looks great, but
needs knowledgeable attention.

Sun SPARCstation IPX - 64 MB RAM, unknown disk size.  Probably the most
popular "lunchbox" Sun.  Can supply fresh Solaris 7 installation.  

Sun disk cabinet - model 411 - SCSI external cabinet for one 50-pin HH hard
drive.  Style matches the early IPC/IPX/LX "lunchbox" machines.  At least
two available. 

Sun disk cabinet - model 911 - SCSI external cabinet for four 50-pin HH hard
drives.  Sise and style matche the early IPC/IPX/LX "lunchbox" machines.

Silicon Graphics, Inc. ("SGI") Challenge S desktop server - Essentially an
Indy without audio or video.  Formerly used as a router and file server by a
major Seattle medical center, this one has at least two Ethernet and one
fiber-optic interfaces.  Two serial ports.  Three SCSI chains (1 narrow SE,
2 Fast-Wide HVD) permit connection of over 30 SCSI drives.  1 GB internal
drive, plus floppy/MO drive.  At least 32 MB RAM, takes standard 72-pin
SIMMs.  Has OS installed, but depends on NFS mounts from its former
environment, so it needs a reinstallation.  

Silicon Graphics, Inc. ("SGI") Indigo2 workstation - MIPS R4400/250 CPU.
Teal case.  Extreme Graphics option.  No drives (takes 50-pin SCSI), no RAM
(takes common 72-pin SIMMs).  

Perhaps some other stuff.  Inquire.

I'm on Bainbridge Island, but I'm willing to facilitate transportation and
equipment transfer.
