NCR Tower... yes, I used to work for a company that
had several of those for
running RM/COBOL. Interesting little machines. I *think* they also had a
special OS just for RM work. I haven't seen one of these in a long time.
I got a ncr tower32 some time ago from a friend, was my intention to make
a backup of its hardrives, sadly the psu survied only one powering up, and
given my limited space for storage I decied to pull all cards, backplates
and hardrives from it, hope one day maybe to figure out what the pinout
for the psu was and try to powering the whole lot up again.
If anything else fails at the very least try to get the harddrives dumped,
still searching for a mfm controler for that job though, Have a 2090 mfm
card for my amiga systmes, but I havent been able to make that talk to
those 200mb mfm drives the ncr used.
