I got one of those things. 33mhz 88k with 32mb ram and a couple of 500mb
scsi drives.
Not sure if it's the same model, but came loaded with DG unix, which I
eventually managed to get in to.
I did find a couple of sites with a fair bit of gear for the 88k. I'll dig
up the url and mail it to you.
Is your system complete? I lack the mouse and a monitor.
