I sent this To: hardware@freebsd.org bcc: current@freebsd.org cc: various friends to inform but avoid follow-up overload. Available free to any Free/Net/OpenBSD/Linux type hacker ... (except recipient to pay shippings from Munich Germany & I've no time to find out what that would cost).. & Due to be chucked out within a week to make space ... so answer me quickly!: The heap weighs about 13.5 Kilogrammes. 2 * Token Ring 8 Port (+RI +RO) MAU Multiple Access Unit (Hub), Front: Proteon proNET-4 Back: Model P2710 (2 Technology Drive, Westboro MA 01581) SN30770002170 400mA 9V DC Documents in perfect condition, labelled: UNISYS Personal Workstation USERNET Token Ring Intelligent Wire Center, Installation Guide, Operating Guide, Manuel d'Installation, Installationsanleitung, Manuale di installazione, Guia de instalaci'on I have 1 power supply (220V/9V) for the 2 MAUs, + daisy chain power cable included.

Shipping Crate: 64 x 15 x 35 centimetre. 2 * ISA 16 bit PC cards Cabletron Systems Inc PN 9000275-03 On flange: 9 pin D + RJ + 4 LEDs 5.25" Floppy, 1 Manual for 2 cards. Zustand: Gut Documentation: include sealed floppy. 3 * 3Com TokenLink Plus (1 still in original seal. Docu: inc orig floppy Now simply in my way, so available free, NO FreeBSD drivers available, you'll need to write some, or use it under some horrific Gates-OS, which is what it was used with before. I have no docu beyond user manuals, & no time to make enquiries, just phone or mail me an address, find me a shipping authorisation with FedEx/UPS/DHL/whatever, so I don't pay the freight & it's yours. Note Jordan had found some volunteer to write FreeBSD token ring drivers for more modern hardware, but I've seen no announcement of progress, so I see no harm in offering this free perhaps to give the PD C src community a 2nd route to token ring support ? gj@freebsd.org looked at the hardwar & pronounced it very old. old it may be, but the friend I got it from assures me it's in full working order, but I have a new job, no time or space, & am having a clear out ... anyone want to take it off my hands ? Matthias, (& others) please feel free to copy this across to appropriate lists for other PD hacker groups, Thanks. Julian --- Julian H. Stacey jhs@freebsd.org http://www.freebsd.org/~jhs/
