I have an old Sun 3/260 which I no longer want.  If you are not
familiar with it, it's a 68020-based Sun workstation.  It has a 19"
grayscale monitor, a 300M SCSI disk, an old SCSI tape drive, and 16M
of memory.  It runs well, and currently has SunOS 4.1.1 on it.  It
also has some version of X11 (I think R5) and emacs 19 and some other
free software.  I have boot tapes for it, and the upgrade to 4.1.1_U1.

Just so you know what you're in for, it's a *heavy* deskside computer
(as tall and deep as a desk, and about a foot wide.)  It has about
four fans in it, and it runs hot.  It is in Adams-Morgan, DC.  You
would need a friend to help lift it, and preferably a truck or station
wagon.  I can't deliver it anywhere.

It's free if you also take away all remnants of my Apollo.  The only
usable part of this is the 19" color monitor.  The monitor is somewhat
dim and blurry.  It is a fixed-frequency monitor, which means it won't
work with Windows.  It's usable with X11 and Linux with some
experimentation.  I will throw in the correct cable and the hardware
thingy which converts VGA to sync-on-green.  The case is heavy, but no
longer has anything of use unless you have an Apollo.  It doesn't run.

If you won't take the Apollo, make an offer, any offer.  I don't want
to take this stuff when I move.
