Hi,
I have a couple of these and need some information.
These are NCR mini tower servers with a 68000 cpu. Has
a Qic type Cartridge tape and comm board with 8 TTY ports
(all 15 pin) and 2 CPU ports (1 DB9 and 1 DB15).
...
I would guess that the drive needs to be formatted
and
the OS reloaded.
So does anyone have a boot tape and/or the serial pin outs both 9
and 15 pin for one of these.
I gave up trying to make mine work, once I found out that the install
tapes are serial-number locked, and (probably) won't work on any
machine other than the one they were distributed with.
Good luck getting any help from NCR/Unisys on this (Unisys rebadged and
sold them under the Unisys brand name.. or did NCR rebadge them?).
