There was one at the Detroit Garage Sale last summer. It is a HUGE system, I
belive there were two CPU cabinets, a couple tape cabinets, disk cabinets
and an AC power distribution cab. It may have been a different model but it
was the same vintage. I've got some 5.25" floppies from it if anyone cares
or wants copies, I think it's most of the OS.
