          Subject: Used Bare Bone Systems
 If this is still available, I'm interested! I do have a few questions
 however....
 (1) What Bios does it have?
 (2) What type memory does it take and, what's the maximum it will accept.
 (3) Does the serial ports have at least 16550 UARTS?
 (4) Will is accept HD/s larger that 528MB? I have a couple of 2.5g WD
     drives that I'd use IF I don't have to use DiskManager or similar
     utility.
 Reply here or, either of the following addresses. I will be out of town
 until 2/28, but I check this echo via remote at least 3 times weekly.
 Thanks...

user: You are replying to All about "tsxbbs forsale".

Write your reply.

assistant: I have a copy of the Tsx32/Tsxbbs for sale.  Tsxbbs runs under what is
the fastest general purpose 32-bit operating system currently available.
The Tsx32 operating system utilitizes a patented (literally) resource
allocation algorithm to provide system performance where it will do the
most good.
Tsxbbs is one of the fastest, most flexible and expandable Internet ISP/BBS
products on the market.  You can play DOOM on the console while the bbs
is chugging along in the background.  You don't have to install a "dos
partition" so you can run ms-dos programs along with the native 32 bit
programs of Tsx32.  Tsx32/Tsxbbs runs on/in the ms-dos file system.
You can FREQ "tsxinfo.txt" from me at Fidonet: 1:299/102 or
browse: www.sandh.com for more information on the products.
I am offering a Tsx32/Tsxbbs license with the following turned on:
o 4 dialup lines plus the console
o Fido-net technology interface
o PageSat/UUCP interface
o A full set of manuals for all the available facilities, even the
  ones not "turned on".  (eg. FTP, Internet services, Browsers,
  SLIP/PPP).
All the rest of the base utilities like menu compiling, scsi cd-rom
support, door support, etc are part of the base package.
This software will run on any 386sx-16 or higher with at least 8
megabytes of ram.  It will utilize all common HD interfaces including
ST506/RLL/IDE and SCSI.  Cd-rom support for both single drives and
cd-rom changers is available only through a listed scsi controller.
This product cost about $800 new, I am offering it at $250 plus
shipping and handling and license transfer fees.
Please contact me in the U.S.A. at: 785-331-4388 arround 6pm CST, e-mail
