I've worked extensively with them and I have had very few problems. The systems are specifically set up for SCO unix and odt, primarily SCSI, but If you call them up and tell them what operating system you want to run, usually they can recommend what changes need to be made, and set it up properly. Sometimes they'll even find the OS you want and load it for you, depending what the OS is. I know they do SCO and Interactive (occationally) and they have just started playing with NeXT step. After I stopped working for them I took care of some their field service contracts around New England so I feel I can honestly recommend them as reliable. but ... as the saying goes ... that's my opinion. oh and BTW, almost every computer they are putting out these days is a 486/50 or stronger. they have been working with corrollary (SP?) for awile, but those are REALLY expensive. if anyone has any questiona about them, I'd be glad to give you their number and such (and the name of a salesman I actually trust). The only catch is that I'm going to be out of town for two weeks, so I won't have access to Email or News until around the first or second of September. if you're interested though, please feel free to mail me, and I'll answer as soon as I return.

(I think everyone is reading most of this thread with several implied :-)'s -- I mean look at the subject line! QED. Quid Pro Quo. Etc.) Sorry to hear about the suicide part. As I remember those first versions of DOS, (1.1 is the first I remember using), $12,000 was a fair price. Billy and crowd made significant improvments, and after all, Billy was able to get IBM to re-sell it. The original developer wouldn't have seen even $12,000 if he'd try to do it without Bill and IBM.

I'd recommend using at SCM together SLIB. SCM is usually between 10 & 50 times faster than MIT C-Scheme (for interpreted code, of course). This is what I use. Another speed demon is Scheme48. Didn't someone get this running on Linux? You might also check out Elk and Scheme-to-C. It's my recollection that each of them had some kind of Linux support, but in both cases it was distributed as "untested". And then of course there is SIOD and UMB Scheme should compile cleanly, but SCM is faster and more complete than both. I don't know whether VSCM or BIGLOO will run on Linux.

Date: 19 Aug 93 14:41:28 Reply-To: jasko@cns.bu.edu Numerous people from this newsgroup have asked me to post here whenever I find an excellent deal on something that might be of interest to the general community. I *DO NOT* intend to post items of this sort regularly here. Rather, I will usually post *ONLY* in the .forsale newsgroups. This is a worthy exception because it is an absolutely awesome deal. (Please note that many people have already bought tape drives and CD-ROM drives from me. I have a list of testimonies that I can E-mail to anyone on request. A few are provided at the end of this post.) Quite a few people have asked me if I can get any other equipment for the kind of prices I have been getting the tape drives, CD-ROM drives and modems for. The most frequently asked for items have been SCSI controllers (to go with the tape and CD-ROM drives) and hard drives. (I now have some *BRAND NEW* Adaptec 1540B SCSI controllers for $120 each. I will be posting these to the .forsale newsgroups shortly; but if you want one you can call now.) The following is an *EXTREMELY* good deal on some brand new 383 Meg Seagate SCSI hard drives. The description follows: I have a few *BRAND NEW* 383 Meg Seagate SCSI hard drives. These drives went for $450.00 regularly. I will give these 383 Meg drives away to anyone who wants one for $260.00 each (THESE ARE BRAND NEW). Call me immediately if you want one because I will give them out on a first come first serve basis and THEY WILL GO FAST. If you think it is too late and they are already gone call anyway because your call will put you in line for one if I can get any more. My home phone number is (617) 246-3634. My wife's name is Julie and she can take down your order info.. I am there in the evenings. If neither of us is there you can leave a message on our machine and I will call you within hours of your leaving a message. I will return *ALL* calls. If you can't reach me then send me E-mail reserving a drive and give me a phone number you can be reached at. Now you can afford a decent sized hard drive and *YOU ARE NOT GOING TO PAY ALOT FOR IT!!!* These are Seagate ST-2383N SCSI Hard Drives. They were manufactured by SEAGATE TECHNOLOGY and they are high quality (University quality) drives. These drives are internal 5 1/4" Half Height Drives. They are vastly superior to most of the non-SCSI hard drives out there. They will work with *ANY* SCSI controller. These Seagates are brand new, still in the box, and come with *EVERYTHING*. They come with docs, and everything necessary for installation. It is a complete package. When you get your drive you will have all that you need to use it. They are 100% guaranteed for 30 days. If you get one and you don't like the way it matches your wallpaper simply return it for your money back *NO QUESTIONS ASKED*! I will be shipping out 25 of these in the next week or so. I need to pay the cash up front to my brother. (He is the industrial reseller I am getting them from.) He will acquire them and I will ship them out. One way of doing this would be C.O.D.. However, this would require my coming up with over $6500.00 up front and waiting for money to come back to me. Since I cannot do this payment C.O.D. is not possible. I may be able to take your credit card for these. My home phone number is (617) 246-3634. You can call me *ANYTIME* up until 2:00 AM seven days a week. My wife, Julie, is home during the day (so she can take your order then) and I am home in the evenings. I repackaged my Seagate, went to UPS, weighed the package, and found out the cost of S&H. I asked them for worst case S&H in the continental U.S. (i.e., California). S&H with insurance for $350.00 plus tracking would cost $10.00 from Boston to California. That is what I will charge everyone for S&H. These drives also work perfectly with Linux, BSD, and other Unices for the PC. I WILL GIVE THESE OUT ON A FIRST COME FIRST SERVE BASIS. FROM MY EXPERIENCE IN THE PAST, MY E-MAIL WILL BE CRAZY! If you are going to pay with a check or money order: In order to acquire a Toshiba make your payment or money order for $270.00 payable to: Dr. John V. Jaskolski send it to: Dr. John V. Jaskolski Suite #307 95 Audubon Rd. Wakefield, MA. 01880 E-MAIL me confirming exactly what you want and in what quantity and indicate how much money you sent in your payment. Sincerely, Dr. John V. Jaskolski jasko@park.bu.edu P.S. The Specs follow: I am always looking for equipment that is dirt cheap. I especially like prices that are around 50% less than the cheapest price around. I decided to go with these since the price is right (You can't get 383 Meg SCSI hard drives *ANYWHERE* for $260.00). They provide industry standard performance *AND* they work with everything. Also, these drives are *BRAND NEW*! No Non-SCSI hard drive even comes close to the quality of these drives. These are the specs: Condition *BRAND NEW* Unformatted Capacity 383 Meg Formatted Capacity 332 Meg Average Access Time 14 ms Data Transfer Rate 2.75 Meg/SEC Form Factor: 5 1/2" Half Height Buffer 64Kbyte SCSI-I: Read Look-Ahead, Non-Adaptive, Single-Segmented Buffer.

If you don't like the way it matches with your wallpaper you can return it. If your cat puts peanut butter on the heads you can return it for all of your money back *NO QUESTIONS ASKED* within 30 days. P.P.S. E-mail me if you have any questions.
