I am thinking of selling my RT collection.  These machines were IBM's
desktop UNIX offering from ~1983 through ~1988.  During this time, IBM
made three seperate processors for the machine.  The original processor
(RT) was quite slow indeed, but the next two processors (the APC and
EAPC) are about equivalent to Sun3s.  Anyway, here's the specs:

FOR SALE:  IBM-RT (Tower Model) with:

	- APC Microprocessor (the medium-grade)
	- FPU (Floating point Math Co-Processor)
	- 16 MB fast RAM (maximum useable).

	- ACIS Monitor (Monochrome, 16")
	- Monitor Card
	- 2 Dual-Sided 5.25" Drives
	- 3 70-MB hard drives
	- EESDI Drive Controller Card (Enhanced ESDI)
	- Token Ring Adaptor
	- Ethernet Card (I'm not 100% sure if this works)

I have another one with just one hard drive and only one floppy which is
also for sale.

It's a fairly nice system.  I'm not sure I'm allowed to sell the machine
with the software still on it, so you might have to find OS distribution
from some other source. I believe I have AOS 4.0 on there now.

Naturally, it comes with a keyboard, mouse, and all the appropriate
cables to hook the machine up.

$900 or best reasonable offer.
