We are interested in the big, expensive and quite powerful workstations and servers that were produced circa 1985-1990. It was the time of the famous 3 M workstations : 1 Mega-word of memory, 1 MIPS, 1 Mega-pixel. It was the big transition between the CISC (VAX, 68k, NS32k) and the RISC (Sparc, HP-PA, i960) architectures. It was the best way to throw money by the window, with prices ranging from $5000 to $50000 and more. These babies are powerful enough to run modern Unices like NetBSD, despite their age. The items are sorted by pseudo-horsepower (i386 stuff are here to be exhaustive). Have fun!
