[comp.arch] PC7300 VM - anyone know?

Does anyone out there know anything about the guts of the AT&T PC7300 (aka the
Convergent S/50)?  I can get one of these beasts cheap but it's really
only interesting if I can use it to play with OS ideas.  I want to port
a Unix to it (it runs SysV) but doing that without hardware specs is next
to impossible.  I'm hoping that one of you is shuddering and remembering the
nightmares of this machine - you'd be just who I want to talk to.

Here's what I know:

	68010, hand built MMU, 10Mhz.   WD1010 HD controller, etc.

Sorry to bother all of you with this and thanks in advance if you know
anything about this machine.

OH, yeah, I forgot - the reason I'm interested is 'cause I can get one for
around $600 new.  AT&T is dumping 'em.
