Misc Sun-3 Hardware For Sale:

This equipment has been in our spare parts bins for various lengths
of time.  We are now getting rid of most of it, as we have few or
none of these machines in production use.  See below for bidding,
sales, and shipping procedure.

Sun-3 Keyboard Sets (a):        $95.00
  Consists of Sun type-3 keyboard, mouse, cable, and mouse pad.
  We have 3 or 4 of these.  All working fine (tested in May).

Sun-3 Keyboard Sets (b):        $90.00
  Consists of Sun type-3 keyboard, mouse, cable, and *no* mouse pad.
  We have 2 or 3 of these.  All working fine (tested in May).

Sun 3/110C-8:                   $500.00
  CPU working at time of deinstall.  Sun standard 17" color monitor is
  *broken*, all other functions OK.  We will ship the monitor if you
  desire.  Diskless, no peripherals.  Includes keyboard, mouse.

Sun 3/110C-8:                   $400.00
  CPU working at time of deinstall.  Sun standard 17" color monitor is
  *broken*.  There were some user complaints which we were not sure
  related to monitor or the frame buffer.  We will ship the monitor if
  you desire.  Diskless, no peripherals.  Includes keyboard, mouse.

Color Frame Buffer For 3/80:    $170.00
  Sun part #501-1402, a MG4 3/80 frame buffer.  Very easy to install.
  Was working fine when we traded in the 3/80.  We don't have a machine
  to use this in (no 3/80s left in building).

SunIPC:                         $310.00
  This is *not* the Sun-4 which Sun called the IPC, it is a much
  earlier device which plugged into a Sun-3 with VME backplane and
  gave you a PC-AT in your Sun-3.  Working fine at time of
  decommission (Sun-3 was traded in).  Requires support software in
  operating system which we don't have tapes for (and probably could
  not legally sell anyway).  Probably of use only for people who
  already have some of these and need a spare or additional.

SunIPC Floppy Drive:            $200.00
  Dual floppies in external enclosure for SunIPC above.  Both 5 1/4",
  one low density, one high density.  Cable included.  Again, working
  fine at time of decommission.

Dead 70MB drives:               $10.00
  These are 70MB disk drives removed from the classic Sun-3 "shoebox".
  We are guessing electronics problems.  One Micropolis 1325, one 
  Toshiba MK156FA.

Floor mount for shoebox:        Make offer
  This is a base adapter that lets you install a classic Sun-3 shoebox
  on its side such that it's much harder to tip over.
 
Floor mount for X/110 cpu:      Make offer
  This is a base adapter that lets you install a 3/110 or 4/110 (3-slot
  VME unit) on its side such that it's much harder to tip over.  This
  may work for a 3/140 as well.


Sales methods:

All prices listed are recommended minimum bid.  These minimums are
midway between the bid and ask we have seen in the commercial used
market.  Your mileage may vary.  We may accept bids below the minimum,
but we reserve the right not to sell below that price.  All remaining
unsold items will be sold in a single lot to a commercial reseller,
which is a heck of a lot less hassle.

All sales final, all equipment sold "as is".  All was working fine at
the time of deinstall unless otherwise noted.  If this is not
acceptable to you, make a bid that makes it worthwhile to find a way to
test it.

We will collect bids until September 1, 1992.  High bidders will be
notified and given 10 days to respond.  The next highest bidder will
then be notified in a similar cycle.
 
Payment will be by COD or advance check/money order.  References
available on our honesty.  :-)  You pay shipping.  There will be no
handling charge unless you specify some strange shipping method that
requires a lot of running around.
