I picked it up anyway for $10 since I could not get it booted, and the
online descriptions don't do it justice. It's HUGE! :> This one has 3
internal hard disks (unknown size) and 12 simms (unknown size).
Unfortunately it uses a keylock to turn the machine on and off and it didn't
come with the key. Fortunately a Turbo switch from a PC works fine,
although it looks funny without the keylock in it.
I'll put BSD on it or something similar to tinker with Unix without messing
up my 9500.
