Rozel, this is a rare piece you have. it might help potential takers if you posted a photo of the front/back/inside of the system. Also very helpful would be physical dimensions and weight. People could use this to estimate shipping costs.

Thanks for your comments. Our company held on to this for years, and I posted to a different group about four years ago offering the complete unit, but never got any response at all.
It weighed over 100 pounds and I figured no one would spend that much for shipping. So only retrieved the boards and I probably have the manuals somewhere in one of the boxes that was packed.

rare, but any collecting value was in whole package 🙁

So I guess I lost a potential treasure there by taking the parts out. It would have all gone to recycling otherwise.
I’m a sentimental grandma who loves technology and none of my peers are interested in talking about the subject. I still have the floppy disks from my first computer which had 16k of memory and two disk drives using real 5 1/4” floppies and 360k of memory each, 8bit (don’t have that computer however anymore) but it did everything.

Ideally, the system would have been kept together. As far as I know, the circuit boards for this system are only intended for the chassis it came in.

It would help to provide photos of what items you still have from the NCR3450 system. If you don't have the whole system, then I imagine that someone else who owns an NCR3450 might be interested in the spare parts.

Did the tower go to scrap already?

This system is supported by NT 3.1 for multiprocessing, one note in the HCL though.

Only the NCR 53c710 SCSI Host Adapter is supported in this machine.

Windows 2000 will never work as it dropped Microchannel support.

If beta 2 worked…

EISA support was NOT dropped from Windows 2000. My VLB/EISA 486 runs EISA cards without any issues.
