I just simply could not pass up the opportunity to snag this machine for $25. I only have one problem. The workstation is in Graphic mode and expects a 3BNC monitor and a HIL keyboard attached in order to access the boot prom. Once in boot prom, I can alter boot conditions to switch over to the serial console. I expected to find these items at my local universities, knowing most of the sysadmins around town. Unfortunately, I'm finding that these small Unis have bailed on this hardware. Recently. Does anyone have access to this hardware and want to throw it to someone that will actually use and study it? If so, email me privately. Have car, will drive Don P.S. The website will be back up soon. Yes the projects haven't stopped progressing. Thanks for your emails and queries regarding updates. http://www.7f.no-ip.com/~north_
