Hey all,
Got an old PentiumPro AViiON DG/UX machine.
I was just wodering if anyone happens to have an old, unused machine like
that.
If so, please reply with details, as well as geographic location.
All shipping costs will be payed by me.
A cash reward is offered, if you are interested.
Thanks,
A'

We have a DG Aviion machine but is not working, is part of our
computer museum. Also, our machine is not a PentiumPro but a
very esoteric one, using a motorila 68020 processor (if I
remember well, maybe I'm wrong)
If I understand, can you ship your machine, for example, to our
computer museum? :)
Ah, no, You want a similar machine! :)
p.s. a copy of the operating system or a dump of the DISK/OS
will be appreciated, is very important to save this kind of
software, very hard to found today.

Quite a different feeling from when I hit the National 32016 and 32032
manuals. That was a chip I so wanted to love (and did, until I used
one, pretty buggy). But a really sweet chip.

88100 or 88110, depending on model.

If I'm not mistaken, it's not until recently the OpenBSD people fought
enough bugs in the GCC for the 88100 to actually make it 'usable'....
I guess that falls in the too little too late category.
