For Sale:
UnixPC aka 7300 nom de plume 3B1 alias Convergent Safari:

(not to be confused with the 6300; there's no nasty intel processors in here,
gotta real Motorola architecture)

AT&T 3B1
4 Meg RAM
67 Meg Hard Disk
Combo (Ports/Memory) Board
VoicePower Board
UNIX 3.51m with Development Set
Other AT&T Software (Word Processor, Spread Sheet, Database, Dev Tools, 
    PowerPaint, etc.)
Complete software from The Store (demos, windowing debugger, etc)
Complete OSU archives of public domain software and sources (uucp, net news,
    g++, gcc, gdb, mtools, tex, mgr, etc etc etc)
Large collection of software I've ported (RCS, many BSD utils, tcsh,
    csound [music synthesis system], gnuplot, etc.)
All original documentation
Tutorial for "Smart" Software (their integrated "office productivity" stuff)
Kernel object files, configuration source
Schematics and troubleshooting guide
Complete system backup, and buttloads of floppies.
Loads o' text files and net news on hard drives, system expansion,
    and other goodies.

This is a complete Unix system with bitmapped graphics and a windowing
system, not a toy.  Mouse, real VM, three serial ports, parallel port,
built-in pseudo-speakerphone and 1200 baud modem.  The VoicePower board
lets the system control two phone lines, answer the phone, send and decode
touch tones and record and playback digitized audio at any of three
sampling and compression rates.  All of this has a simple shell interface
for writing csh scripts as well as mouse-based sample editors.  There's an
answering machine program from AT&T with a mouseified interface and complete 
remote control.  Set up your own 976 number, demon dial radio stations,
make insanely intricate interactive answering machines ("press 1 to leave
a message, press 2 to try a card trick, press 3 to commit an antisocial act").
Be the envy of others.

Asking $2000 but will consider any serious offer.

If you're interested, let me know:
