FW: RE: [tech] Acquisition of the UCC's SGI O2

[Dreisiger, Peter]

Hello again,

To celebrate the first anniversary of my original email regarding the
UCC's O2, I just thought I'd send a new email to find out if the machine
has been looked at, and whether the club would be willing to trade it
for (up to) the following (pending a quick inspection of the O2 and what 
it still contains):

	1	SGI Crimson (150MHz R4400, 112MB RAM, 2.4GB HDD)
	2	SUN ELC (33MHz Weitek W8701, 16MB RAM, 17" Mono monitor)
	1	SUN SLC (20MHz MB86901A, 16MB RAM, 17" Mono monitor)
	4	SUN SLC boards (20MHz MB86901A)
	1	DEC VAXstation 3100 m30 (12MB RAM, HDD)
	1	DEC VAXstation 3100 m38 (16MB RAM, TZ30 tape drive)
	1	Personal DECstation 5000/25

If needed, I can even provide CDROMS of the following OS's:

	IRIX 5.3 or 6.2
	SUNOS 4.1.3
	Ultrix (Nov 1995)

Anyway, thanks for your consideration, and I'm looking forward to your
response.
