Hi John,
I knew that someone on the list had a Terak. BTW I think this one
originally came from the VA hospital in Gainsville, Florida. I got it with
a bunch of stuff that came from NASA.

I don't know anything about it other than the obvious. I haven't had a
chance to look at it closely. It looks like a model 8510. It has one 8"
floppy drive and the monitor. It has two serial ports and each has
connectors for DTE, DCE or current loop connections. It has a monitor port,
a composite video port, a keyboard connector and a connector for additional
drives. I'm missing the cable that connects the monitor to the CPU and I'm
missing the keyboard. (Unless it turns up in the rest of the stuff.)
I'm posting pictures of it at
"www.intellistar.net/~rigdonj/terak/terak-f.jpg" and
"www.intellistar.net/~rigdonj/terak/terak-b.jpg".

A spare door and part of the RADAR altimeter. We've already been
offered VERY serious money for the door. In fact, more than enough to pay
for the whole load. Oh, also got sections of the tunnels that were
supposed to connect the different modules of Skylab. They remind me of
those tubes used on the gerbil and hmaster habitats!
