Hello everyone,

First of all, I'm not looking for a free machine. I'm happy to pay.

I'm looking for a MIPS Magnum PC4000 or SC4000, ideally a whole system but just a motherboard would also work. I've been working on various programs for the ARC firmware (I've ported newlib and doom to it!) :) This work will be made open source.

At at any rate, my own Magnum has a faulty SCSI controller chip and repairs have been... Not entirely successful. I'd really love to be able to complete my projects but right now I'm a little stuck.

What I plan to do with it:
* Fix the Linux port for the magnum, I have linux 6.2.11 booting and working minus floppy drive and RTC.
* Polish up my newlib port and publish it.
* Dump the roms and contribute them back to mame.
* Fix the emulation of the machine in Mame and Qemu

I'm not sure what these things are worth, I'm happy to negotiate. I'm also happy to pay for international shipping. I really want a working magnum.

Thank you!
