    Correct.

   Same as any PC.

   They came with a good size set of docs and they were in dark red binders
in slip cases, just like those for the AT&T Unix PC (3B1) and the 3B2
computers. I don't remember what all they covered but I think there was
about six books to a set. One of my friends probably still has his.

   I'll see if he wants to turn loose of the stuff. I kind of hate to split
it up though.

   I'll look for it.

  As I said, they seem to be very IBM compatible. I don't remember seeing
anything that wouldn't run on them. I think my friends bought their's in
late 1984 or early 1985 and at that time a lot of the brand X machines were
not IBM compatible. I know, I had a Sanyo 555. What a PITA!
