ISTR "3555" is a model of NCR box. We used them when I was at Lucent
(they were bought before AT&T "trivested" into AT&T, NCR and Lucent).
They typically run SYSVr4, but I was told that you _could_ boot them
to DOS and play DOOM on them (I didn't ask ;-)
Big ones like that were MCA. Newer NCR servers were 1/3 the size and
PCI. I think most of ours were quad Pentium-90 boxes.
The thing of it is, I was brought into the group because they wanted to
move to Sun SPARC hardware and Solaris and all of their expertise was
with NCR (and older) UNIX platforms. I think when I left, they were
over 50% Sun (in the data center our group ran.
OK boxes, but nothing special unless you have a Dayton, OH, fetish (NCR
headquarters).
