On Sat, 08 Nov 1997 02:38:31 -0300, Mr. Richards made the following
statements:

The brains of the machine were a MicroVAX II (KA630-AA). Disks
were primarily Fujitsu 8" Winchester drives controlled by an Inter-
graph proprietary controller called an "InterBus File Processor".
A SCSI tape drive was standard on the 250, also of Fujitsu manufacture
if I recall correctly.
A nice enough little box, but hobbled for the hobbyist community
by the proprietary controller for which no schematics of firmware
listings will _ever_ be available from Intergraph.
