WTB: AT&T 3b1 / PC7300/ UNIX PC

[cb88]

I'm just starting on my search for a 3b1... it strikes my curiosity just because it is a graphical Unix without X11 as well as I think it would be cool to network it with RetroBSD devices runing MGR client applicaitons. I imainge I could get MGR working on my Sparcstations as well and it might even be better than X11 in some cases due to being more lightweight since that was apparently a primary reason people stuck with it back in the day after X11 was becoming dominate.

Throwing around some ideas with the RetroBSD guys here:

So anyone that wishes to part with thier 3B1 for a reasonable ammount or knows where I can get parts of one to piece together I would be glad to hear of it!

Hi. Just seeing this now. Feel free to contact me.

I have 2 of these working, and am restoring 2 more right now, in some very interesting ways. Particularly, using David Gesswein's MFM Hard Drive Emulator.

I also have a smattering of parts.

Email me at the address found at http://mightyframe.com/p/contact.html

See my now very incomplete 3b1 page here.

All the best,

need bootable disk image for MFM emulator

need bootable disk image for MFM emulator

I'm in the middle if installing a Gesswein emulator on a 7300 I am reviving that has a dead disk. Can you send me a working drive image that I can dd onto the micro-SD card to get it booted? I have a file system backup that I can restore, but no way of getting it started.

thanks,
