The MMAC-Plus comes in six- and 14-slot versions; we had one of each for testing. The six-slot unit was configured with two 10/l00Base-T switching modules as well as an FDDI and an ATM module. It has a list price of $87,000. . . .Eighty Seven Grand for the six slot chassis with minimal cards -- in June of 1997, 'way back in the last millenium. The core of our LAN was a pair of 14-slot chassis with FDDI rings and multiple 36-port and 6-port cards with AUI, Ethernet, and fiber modules. The three satelites each had an MMAC-8 11 slot chassis. Total cost had to be around a half million.
The MMAC-8's are gone. Here are the two MMAC-plus 14 slotters, a pair of enviromental modules, four power supplies, and a boxload of cards. There's a guy on E-Bay selling three clean 14-slot hubs as a single lot. Asking $50 as a start bid with no takers.
