Brief description: 680000 mpu, 4 MMU's (MC68451 L8) 1 x 8.5 inch floppy 1 x Quantum 2040 8-inch 40MB h.D. (SASI interface) 1 x ???? (1/4 incg by the looks) tape backup unit 16 ports MONSTER cabinet housing . (Mostly empty with "SHasta" printed on bottom front) The unit is not working (wiill not boot) ...I am prepared to fix and repair to component level as required. I understand it is running Xenix 3.0 I also understand I could be wasting my time with an ALTOS machine...but when someone *GIVES* a computer to me, I will do my wonderful best to get it going and make itself useful. If you're reading this and saying, "yeah I know about that pieces of [expletive deleted], I would appreciate *anything* you could tell me about this machine. I'm currently without a computer again (This is like atilla the hun without followers) and am DYING a slow and agonizing death without something to program.....therefore I *WILL* get this thing running.
