That'd be the one.

It has an OS installed; with the CPU I also picked up a QIC unit, 10 meg
disk/floppy unit, a 'disk expansion' unit of unknown size (I'm short one
power supply), and a GC-001 graphics unit, as well as boxes of QIC tapes
and 360k floppies. The OS is installed along with lots of other stuff of
unknown purpose on the hard disk/floppy box. It boots fine; I can play a
little with it, but I really don't know what's there.

I'm able to get file listings of [sys]<sys> which I'm assuming is the hard
disk.

I wish there'd been an operator's manual in the lot..
