My most prized UNIX computer is the original LF/Technologies CUBIX from 1987. It's an 11" cube with a built-in UPS (weighs a ton), an 80286 CPU, several serial ports, and runs System V release 2. This box was part of the original Stargate project, broadcasting Usenet over Satellite to Cable TV.

I also have a UNIX PC 7300 and a couple SparcStation 1+ and a 10, along with a pair of 13w3 monitors. And an Ann Arbor Ambassador terminal in twisted mode.

These are currently in my virtual museum at https://stargatemuseum.org/. It is my hope that someday they will go in a physical museum.

Hello TUHS people!

Someone recently posted a question about your prized UNIX artifacts to this list, that discussion [1] seems to be about various memorabilia. What about computers made to run UNIX? Do you have or used to any interesting historical hardware?

For my part, I have only used UNIX on emulated systems so far but would like to purchase some hardware. Given that I have little space it would need to be something small. According to you how does one get into that specific type of retro computing?

See you around cyberspace,

Vicente
