Racked Series III on eBay

2005-06-06 by horiprod

Hi All...

Yes, I did build this machine for Chris Hughs, and it's exactly that - 
a series III in a 19" rack case (the very first I, or possibly anyone 
else ever made). It's an old rev 5 machine with a Newbury Data 140 
Mbyte drive. It might be worth buying for the right price, but unless 
you were going to upgrade it, you'd have to worry a little about it's 
long term viability...

Regards,

Peter Wielk
