Boy, doesn't that take me back!  I was one of the first developers for
this (ill fated, slow) machine.

Heh.  Maybe if you paid *me* $100 to haul it away, I might possibly
consider it, but otherwise it's good for little more than anchoring
small boats, and I've heard old engine blocks work better for this
anyway. :-)

You might donate it to a computer museum - I could see them maybe
wanting it.  The machine does have a place in UNIX workstation history
(it and the Wicat & Callan Unistar, I suppose).
