I have the chance to buy one locally from an ebay seller, which would we great since shipping is killer. Does anyone have an estimate on how much these are wroth now?
No problem, I jsut wanted one because its rare and it looks cool. I've bought other stuff from this seller, but since there are no other ones on ebay, he wanted to figure out what a fair price is for one.5300cs said:I could imagine the shipping! 70 pounds, last time I checked.
I have a feeling that they're not worth that much. From what I've read, they didn't run Mac OS but AU/X (Apple's old flavor of UNIX.) I wouldn't recommend using AU/X these days as development has stopped and so there are no bugfixes and/or up to date software anymore. Are there any others on eBay? Maybe you could do price comparison.
Sorry to rain on your parade
They don't run A/UX, they run IBM's AIX operating system. These were basically IBM servers packaged as Apple servers. As I recall they came with AIX 4.x which is a very nice operating system for server duties.5300cs said:From what I've read, they didn't run Mac OS but AU/X (Apple's old flavor of UNIX.)
