I would have probably kept it if it was a 840AV. I liked that machine a bit more, but now I'd probably get something capable of running A/UX. Of course, since classic macs have a big cult following and they aren't on Ebay anymore, I'll probably just keep my memories and call it good. > as well as a few other boxes you list.

There are a lot of sites out there with model 100 info nowadays, though. > AFAIK an '060 accelerator was never sold for the Mac platform. Was that > a real thing? It's been a while now, I can't remember. If you say so, I believe it. It musta been a 040 or something.

I also remember it didn't have any kind of extra RAM or SCSI controller (which I kinda wanted but could not afford). > DEC microVAX III BA23 (w/ SCSI) > DEC microVAX I BA23 I think thre is a DEC microVAX II still sitting powered down in a corner here at my office. > IBM PS/2 Mod 95 Ugh.

You call it a cabinet but it looks just like the MicroVAX II I just mentioned. Is it some kind of fancy case upgrade for a VAX ? -Swift
