Hi Joe,

Assuming you are talking about the one you sent me a photo of. You
already know as much as I would guess. They look like a system 86/3xx,
but I don't know the specifics.

It looks like you really have to learn iRMX. I did remember one thing
about it. Seems like there was an administrator account out of the box
called "superuser". Don't know the default password. Give it a try.

I never did anything with Xenix. So nothing to remember. Sorry.

BTW, can't remember if I told you, but I located my ISIS-II(W) and can
send you a copy of the boot diskette. Assume you want DD, right?

The cable from the MDS to the winchester disk package was a three-row
D-connector. Probably one-to-one. Does your chassis have something
like that connector on it?
