Could anyone make any informed comments about the after-market (i.e. used) price for a: TI Explorer II cartridge tape drive two 140 Mb disks networking software Release 3.0 software Heaven't the foggiest idea about memory so assume the standard configuration unless something in the above description suggests otherwise.

I saw an explorer-I configuration at ELI HEFRONS advertised in "the Processor" for $3500. Perhaps you can give ELI's a call (in Cambridge MA) for a price quote. At least you know he is handling explorers. Clearly the UPPER LIMIT for an explorer-II configuration would have to be made against something like a DECSTATION-3100 or SPARCSTATION with a Lucid or Allegro Common Lisp environment. If we take software developers discount on brand-new hardware clearly we get about a $15k to $20k upper limit. And that would be for brand new COLOR hardware with more functionality and speed. Where TI has blown it big is to be going the twice-as-expensive route of an add-on-to-a-MAC-II technique rather than the motherboard SPARCstation/DECStation route. The amusing, and ironic thing is that it was the add-on-technique to the TI NUMACHINE that helped to kill good old Lisp Machine Inc's LMI-LAMBDA. -gjc
