questions about a server (circa 93)

[BKLounger]

So i went to this yard sale last week and found an old server. It is an AT&T Server (that is how it is branded). I am trying to find information on them and it is impossible. It is a 6386/25 wgs at&t server it has a 25mhz processor and 4mb of ram and is currently running dos 6.0. I am trying to find any information on them including how much it is worth. I found auctions on ebay pricing a home pc version for like $200 (which they dub as vintage and rare, but i am not sure) and just the board for this machine at $189. I am just trying to get info about the hardware itself and also what a reasonable price on this machine might be.

Well a 386/25 computer isn't going to be worth anything (except as a curiosity) no matter how you slice it. The electrolytic caps on the mobo and in the PSU aren't long for this world, and when those go, she's kaput... (Unless you're up for a recapping job.)

How much searching have you done using the search engines like altavista, ask, etc.? It wasn't hard for me to find info. One place had some parts and they also had the same machine listed for sale at under $200. I think it was released in 1990... Good luck.

I may have one or two, or already junked them, no special value that I know of, but I can't remember if it uses a special keyboard or anything.

I think the ones I have originally ran some unix variant.

Do a google groups search on the model and see what pops up.
