The 860 is a CP/M machine. Big sucker.

Yap, that's the model.
I say it is "descended somewhat" from the Alto line in that it used some
of the same GUI technology.
Here's some links:

Oh, that
sounds like a Xerox WYSIWYG word processor. I can't remember the
model number but its definitely worth hanging on to. It is descended
somewhat from the Alto line.
Monitor looks like maybe a from a 860, dont believe thats related to
Alto/Star etc...
