Brian,

The configuration you posted is a sizable machine, well-suited for
running green-screen applications for fifty or so workstations.  I don't
know its value on the market but I would guess higher than you would
want to spend for your personal use.  The software licenses have some
value.

In looking at the configuration, it looks like you've got lots of
communications and networking, but no tape.  Perhaps I missed it, but I
don't see an internal QIC drive, nor do I see a controller card for an
external drive.

Regards,
Andy Nolen-Parkhouse
