Thank you. Tom Reid. /* End of text from gypsy:net.micro */ The Sycor 350 is about 10 years old by now. It's an 8080, with a proprietary O.S. I worked with them when I was in the Army; we used them for key-to-disk data entry systems. The hardware was pretty sturdy, but not very powerful. The software was terrible. My advice is to pass.
