I have found someone with a AT&T 3B2-300 for sale with 1MB of RAM, 2 40mb hard drives (1 internal, 1 external) and a XM (?) tape drive. It is supposidy running Sys V ver 2.4 (or could be 2.04). The seller claims that going to a newer revision would require a memory upgrade. The seller does not believe the delevopment tools are with the system, but has lots of other office packages. Is it possible to get the development software for a system like this at a reasonable price? Any reccommendations on sources? What would be needed to upgrade the system? For $200, it seems like a lot of stuff. Thanks! +-----------------------------------+ | Charles R.
