I have boxes of disks that came with my AT&T 5300 and my 3B2, I'll take a look through them and see what 3rd party stuff is in there.
I assume you know the 3B1 uses a different processor than the 3B2 and its graphics isn't compatible with other systems of the time.
Yes. I'm just trying to find examples of what might have been available (and long-shot, if the software came bundled for multiple cpus.) Multi-user terminal mode stuff wouldn't matter on the graphics, I'd guess?
I assume there is some 3B2 source could be recompiled for the 3B1 and would be interesting.
Yep.
I didn't find anything classic computer related googling the 5300.
I meant 6300 (series) and specifically a 6386WGS (I think). (These are x86 based.) Same reasoning in that they were more or less contemporaneous and in similar-ish markets.

anyway, when I demoed a 7300 at HOPE I set it up to be the "Hacker Crackdown" workstation, which for many is what makes this model famous/historic. I put Phrack on there and communications software to connect to BBSs, etc. There is a good FAQ here http://unixpc.taronga.com/faq/faq.txt Search for the SCORE! public domain archive to locate software.
