Dear Bill and The List ...

We will have a 64-port 7171 available in just a few weeks.  In fact, we'll
have an entire 3083 system available!!  However, I've found out that we're
about to agree to sell the entire system TOMORROW, so if you really are
interested in the 7171 (or anything else), you should contact Kathi Mahoney
here at Intermetrics ((617) 661-1840 x4515) right way!  (You can call me
with any technical questions ... I'm at x4096.)

The system is going to the highest bidder (which, frankly, isn't saying much
... hint, hint ;-) ).  However, if you or someone else want a particular
piece really bad, we did reserve the right to sell anything separate from
the rest of the system, so it may be available to you.

Here's the list of soon-to-be-available equipment ...

(Note: Just about all the IBM brand equipment has been and is still under
IBM maintenance ... the exceptions are most of the terminals, two of
3380-B04s, and, of course, the DACU [the 7170 DACU; the 7171 is on
maintenance].)
