relivance for comp.sys.tahoe: ALL boards in this box will operate in the CCI POWER 6 (CCI/ICL's tahoe box) :: a cheap way to get memory, spare parts, etc. Three CCI 5/20 Computers: "FAULT TOLLERANT" Operating system!! Ideal for SMALL size company that has Office Automation Needs Each having at least the following configuration: 4 MB RAM 70 MB Winchester Drive 20 MB Streaming Tape Drive 18 RS-232 async I/O ports (capable of steady 19.2K baud) CPU-2 as Main CPU board, Motorola 68000 family CPU with Memory Management Unit and Memory Management Enhancements All I/O Controllers are memory mapped and are intelligent (Intel 8086 family processors on each controller) includes the following controllers: VIOC-X - intelligent async controller SMART-E Disk/Tape Controller STIM-3 - intelligent parity error detection and reporting sub-system. VMM VERSAbus Memory Module with Error Correction Code (ECC) memory. The bus is standard VERSAbus backplane (Motorola, 32bit). One has 20 more async ports with 1 more async controller for a total of two intelligent async controllers and 38 async ports. Spare boards are as follows: (VERSAbus) Intelligent Ethernet Controller (came installed, but not used or tested) One system with mounted transceivers (Thick) Intelligent Cypher 9 track Tape Controller (came installed, but not used or tested) These systems are running PERPOS (Perpetual Operating System), a Fault Tollerant Unix lookalike. These systems were originally designed by Computer Consoles, Inc. to run Telephony systems. These, however, have served as office work horses. As you will note, by the software listed below, these machines could aid in operations for Office Automation and light, in house business applications developement to help automate manual, everyday tasks. Make your office paperless. The software is a "few revisions" old, but still very effective. INCLUDED ON ALL THREE MACHINES: Software: PERPOS S 1.12 (perpetual OS, fault tollerant) Network (TCP/IP -- for ethernet or SLIP (serial line IP ) ) C compiler Fortran Compiler Busness basic Level II Cobol Office Power, Office Automation Package. Office power is a complete system for the office on the move... It has the following applications built in and fully integrated: Electronic Mail Electronic Phone messaging Word Processing/Spell/etc. User Defined Applications (screens/database) Spreadsheet (123 like) PC UP/Down loading Calendar & Planner/Timer Events Reminders Name/Address List Miscellaneous Unix and Filesystem interfaces. Office Power utilities:: Office Power Print Spooler Office Power Mail and File Transfer Office power provides a standard look and feel environment to all applications so the user is always in "familiar surroundings". Stop the run- around, attach your favorite spreadsheet, database records, Calendar event, or document to a mail message, and send it out -- no more copying and delivering. Best of all these machines communicate, send mail to remote offices, or locally to users other machines connected via LAN!! Use your terminal emulator for your existing PC's or most any terminal to connect to the hosts. REPLIES USMAIL: 6021 Wealdstone Court Centreville, VA 22020 Attn: R.
