The A2088 was an add-in option. Back in the day, only one of my A2000-owning

Would be quite interesting. A micro super- multiprocessor system.
I do have an incomplete system, sold in Germany a GEI Trace. Mine has two
Fujtsu SMD Drives.
Would take the system, but wrong side of the pond.
Very rare, should be saved.

There are a few modified aftermarket supplies for the MDD which are also
infinitely more reliable. I have an Antec one around here somewhere. The
lower-watt AcBel units seem more reliable.

The A2000 did *not* have a built-in hard disk, that was the A3000. The
A2000 was just an "updated" A1000 in a large desktop case with Zorro
slots... completely braindead.

Whats this "BackInTheDay" stuff ? ;-) granted we upgraded to openvms at y2k,
but the system is still in production. Ive been involved in this app since
93, and it was mature then. Just will not die :-(

Does anyone have the capacity to power the unit on in Texas? I
could purchase and move, but without any ability to power it on it would
just sit persistently in storage and I'm not interested in getting another
minicomputer that will just sit.
Let me know?

Yeah but ... I wouldn't. The power supplies look too rough for me
to trust the smoke-test.
I can store it but I will lie if I say I can devote any time to it.
