Well, I need a 512MB IDE drive for another system to do some serious 
development work. I have two UNIX Systems -- only need one, so I'd
like to offer my older system for sale for $1300 or in trade for a
512 MB IDE drive.

This is a great starter system to learn about UNIX system administration.

What I am selling is a complete UNIX platform that I will set up ready
for you to use for e-mail and usenet news, EXCEPT that unless you pay
extra I will not include a monitor [if I sell you my monitor then I have 
to go out and buy another one]. All of the hardware and software has been
in use for my e-mail and news feed in the past, so I know it works without 
problems. I will set the system up for you to dial in to the news feed of 
your choice; if you don't have a news feed and either live in the Phoenix area
or else don't mind long distance phone bills, I will offer my site to be your
news feed [as long as my site exists, and as long as I get from my feed what
you want].

What you get:

    SOFTWARE:

	* Microport System V/386 Version 3.0 unlimited user base system
	  [the boot disk is worth 25% off on an upgrade to a newer Microport ptort
	  system].

	* Development System [compiler, lint, lex, yacc, etc].

	* DOS Merge -- run many popular DOS programs sharing your UNIX file
	  system. I use a DOS version of Wordstar for example [WS not incl.]

	* 5 volume manual set for all of above.

	* c-news installed.

	* rn news reader installed.

	* fas installed.

    HARDWARE:

	* Micronics motherboard with 80386DX-16 plus 80387-16.

	* 2M RAM -- expandable using expansiion card [not incl.], but
	  the system supports a single user plus uucp just fine with this
	  amount of RAM [newer releases of UNIX are more RAM-hungry].

	* CGA card with printer port. [CGA monitor not included -- if you need
	  one lets talk.] The system supports a limited number of EGA and VGA
	  cards, but I've always used CGA.

	* Serial port for an external modem or a dumb terminal.

	* Internal 2400 baud modem [I know, it's kind of slow, but I used
	  it for a couple years for a partial news feed. If you MUST have
	  something faster, you can either pay extra for my Hayes Optima 9600
	  baud modem -- I'll have to go out and get a new one -- or else
	  send me a modem to set up. I can't sell you a "shake out of the
	  box UNIX e-mail and usenet news system" unless I have the modem].

	* 1.2 MB Teac floppy drive

	* 80 MB + 50 MB MFM hard disks and controller (1:1 interleave).

	* Grungy but working keyboard [most people like to pick out their
	  own "feel" in a keyboard -- this will do you until you find what
	  what you really like].

    SUPPORT:

	* 1 week warranty on the system [I will not spend your money for a 
	  week -- after that the money will be gone and I won't be able to
	  refund your money.

	* 6 months technical support via e-mail or phone.
