[tech] Acquisition of the UCC's SGI O2

[Dreisiger, Peter]

Hello,

In June last year, I received the following reply to an earlier email...
As I never did hear back from Anil (and erwin is still listed as
inoperative on your web site), I was basically wondering what the status 
of the O2 is.   I'm still interested in obtaining it, and as I'm trying 
to reduce the size of my computer collection, I now have the following
items that I'm willing to trade for the O2

	1	SGI Crimson (150MHz R4400, 112MB RAM, 2.4GB disk,
		             IRIX 5.3 and 6.2 CDROMS)
	1	DEC VAXstation 3100m38 (16MB RAM, ~340MB disk)
	1	DEC VAXstation 3100m30 (16MB RAM, ~340MB disk)
	1	DEC DECstation 5000/25 (w/ Ultrix CDROMs)
	2	DEC Storage Expansion units
	3	SUN SPARCstation ELC (16MB RAM, inbuilt 17" monitor,
		             SUN 4 keyboard)
	5	SUN SPARCstation SLC boards
	1	Apple Macintosh LC with monitor
	2	DLINK 10Mb Ethernet network bridges
	1	11" IBM Colour VGA monitor

As I am somewhat pressed for space, I would appreciate a reply letting
me know whether the UCC is willing to trade the O2 for the above items.
