Are we talking about ISA-bus computers here? If so the colour graphics
card was a Persyst Bob card, and the bi-sync adapter, if equipped, was

Dave McQuire keeps emailing me about the CAMAC controller
boards, but he obviously is not getting my replies.
Anybody know how to contact him?
Thanks,

a tour of our old building at 5000 Arlington Center Blvd, where I
worked in 2001-2002. The old data center is still in operation, being

I recently purchased one of these, and it arrived in rather sad shape. It
does power on.
Is there anyone out there who would give it a good home?
The housing is cracked in 2 places, and a lot of the key caps got lost
before it arrived at my door.
Make offer if interested. I will pack it well

I'm surprised there is any interest in these.
I bought some docs/sw on eBay years ago for one of these and have
