I work in small Unix/Xenix based systems and I have client who has an
Onyx.  It is a z8000 based Unix system - system III era.   Onyx went
under, was bought by Corvus, and there are still some machines around.

There is a support firm, and some software available.  However BASIC
is no longer available, and the client has a program to drive some
auxilliary equipment that is in BASIC.

The program can be re-written for C, but if it can be run in BASIC he
could save some $$$$. 

Question is this - does anyone know of one of the machines that has
been retired or just sitting around that may have BASIC, and if so
does it have a BASIC that can be sold? (This assumes that the software
license can be transferred).

Reply by mail please, and thanks.
