Hi

I found a scrap place today that ahd a few computers - got on good terms
and now they are going to ring me whenever they pick one up. :) Apparantly
they just scrapped an old Xerox box, but no details, and they get the
occasional Altair and stuff. Anyway, they had little on hand that
interested me (I already had their Amstrads, and the Commodore 128D's had
no monitor or keyboards, so I thought I would think about them), but I did
pick up something - I just don't know what it is. It's about the size of a
original PC/XT, but the case is blue - with a blue clear panel on the
front. Has two com ports and a vdu port, and two 8" drives. I opened her
up, and she has a rack with everything plugging in at teh back, inc lots of
controllers. There was a NSC800 cpu module, and when I removed it, sure
enough, there was a NSC800 N-1 cpu. No idea what that is though. Heaps of
switches, leds and stuff behind the front panel, too.

Anyway, this is somewhat outside my normal collecting range, and isn't
probably of much interest, but at a couple of dollars I thought it might be
worth looking into it. Can anyone tell me what it is, or anything about
it?

Thanks heaps,

Adam.
