Well, I have an Opus 4/60 (Sparc 1 clone) with 28Mb RAM, 1Gb hard disk, double
speed CDROM drive, 150Mb Tape streamer (all internal), cgthree (1150x900x8)
graphics, 20" monitor, high speed 2 serial/1 parallel port card (haven't
finished the driver for the parallel port yet), keyboard, mouse, ethernet,
running OpenBSD 2.2 & X11R6 that I was thinking of selling..  nice internet
machine now that I have written the fast serial port driver (the on board
serial ports only reliably go to 9600)

I would want around �700 though..
