FOR SALE
--------

We have four Masscomp workstations for sale. They were purchased
new in late 1983/early 1984 as development systems for a now completed
project. Specifications are as follows:

	- floor mount, "tower" style package
	- 8 slot extended height multibus backplane
	- 1 Mb of ECC memory,
	- 45Mb 5.25" winchester disk
	- 1 Mb 5.25" floppy.
	  (One machine with 45Mb 5.25" cartridge tape drive
	   in place of floppy)
	- Virtual Memory UNIX O/S (seems to be combination of Sys III/4.1 BSD)
	- Two 10 MHz 68000 per CPU card with 1K cache.
	  (one is main CPU, other does instruction restart)
	-  Excellent disk throughput; excellent performance.

Machine is typically sold as a real time data acquisition machine
or a graphics station.
	
No graphics hardware, or terminals included..
	
All systems are in working order.

We are willing to sell the 4 systems as a package deal, or individually, on an 
as-is basis (no warranty). We paid around $20,000 US each for the systems, and 
will sell them for the best reasonable offer received.
