Hi all:

I have an old "Fortune Systems 32:16", circa 1983.
This was a great little 68000 based unix box which I used to rent out to a skeptical
former employer who was wasting ridiculous amounts of money on mainframe time.
(It paid itself back several times)

Anyone else out there have an interest in these ?

Despite the fact that unix is never really out of date, there are three things that make
this box a dinosaur:
(1) It lacks any sort of networking beyond its serial port
(2) It requires specially formatted 800K, 5-1/4 floppies
(3) The bus looks like the original IBM PC bus, but it is not.
I wish I had some specs on it.
