Witch model is it exactly ? Do you also have the laser printer unit ?
EMS 5800 is the family name (and also the only name on the first
series - the later models had also distigtive numbers on the front.

Wow - great - try to get documentation, info, whatever - I would
be especialy interested in material (and stories) from 'the
other side' - I know some stories and have some material from
Siemens people.

I don't know, but I guess in Germany at least - beside two original
labeled units in a R&D department at Hoffmanstrasse, I never have
seen any Xerox units in Germany.
I realy love Viewpoint. I don't think anybody needs more PC
at work than this system (no mater on which hardware). As I
said earlyer around 1980 these machines (hard- and software)
have been my impression of state of the art office (desktop)
systems and I still can't belive the outcome.
