Hi William !
Oh boy...I guess this is what's meant by being a "well connected"
individual. Louis pointed them out to me on Sunday night.
There are ~31 adapters total. It looks like some of them were removed rather
harshly. All except one were repairable and should work. The last one might
work but it will need an external transceiver to talk to anything, as the
internal port was ripped completely off. Time to find a QBMCA boot disk and
a PS/2 with eight free slots for testing!

Haven't seen that many 3C527 in one place after we'd finished the set of machines for one Hamburg customer in 1988 ...
Hauling the machines and accompanying gear to the office building was a different story. My back still cries up when I only *think* of that.
50 Mod. 60-071, 4 x 80-311, 4 x 4216-010 Laserprinters. Monitors for each machine. (8513 IIRC), keyboards, cables, boxes with software and manuals (remember: 1 x DOS, 1 x PS/2 user manual, 1 x No-Well 3.something licence and, and, and ...)
The whole stuff ran under Novell. Some of the gear still operated in 1998 - 3 of the Mod. 80s at least.
