For Sale: 2 SGI 3130 minicomputers

Asking price is $500 or best offer

We are selling  two SGI Iris 3130 computers, including (2 of each):
  * Case, Power Supply, Card Cage, CPU and other cards
  * Hard Disks with several hundred MB of space and Unix installed
  * QIC tape drive
  * Full complement of memory (16MB) and framebuffer cards (8)
  * Ethernet (AUI connector)
  * Video output (4 BNC connectors, RGB+Sync)
  * 3 serial ports
  * Keyboard & Mouse
  * Video cables
  * Complete SGI documentation

Graphics quality is quite good, and they come with several demos
including a flight simulator (with dogfighting ability if you network
two machines together).

There are a few "gotchas" that you should know about:
  * Only one of them has a working video card!  We have two broken
    spare cards, which you might be able to get one of working.
  * Only one working (19") monitor.  The other monitor was broken.  If
    you want to try to fix it, we will include it at no extra charge.
  * The systems will run without video, so you can use the one that
    doesn't have video as a text only Unix server.
  * One of the machines won't boot, because the /etc/passwd file got
    thrashed.  Human error on our part.  It can be fixed by creating a
    boot tape using the other machine, and booting with that tape.
  * These are 680x0 based, and are NOT compatible with the RISC based 4D
    and newer machines.  The 3000 series was made during the late 1980's.
  * Due to the graphical architecture you can NOT run the X Window
    System.  Instead they come with a windowing package called "mex".

The units are large: approx. 20" wide, 24" deep, and 24" tall.  They
are heavy, about 150 pounds each.  The monitor is also fairly heavy.
I don't want to build a crate to ship these puppies, so shipping is
really not an option.

They are located in Santa Cruz, CA.  We will be willing to deliver
anywhere within about a 2 hour drive (i.e. the SF bay area) if you
can't come to pick them up.

Please send me email if you are interested!
