Hi there,
Am I the only person on the planet that still has one of these machines

Possibly :-) The name sounds familiar, but I'm not sure why - possibly the
museum was offered one (but likely turned it down as there sadly isn't
infinite space for every UNIX system ever made)
The perticular example I have has 4M of ram and a 70M
disk, and is
running SysV unix. Acording to the documentation and the back of the
machine, it has a SCSI-1 interface however I have never been able to get
this working.
It's definitely single-ended SCSI and not differential? My NCR had an external
SCSI interface, but it was differential (even though the internal disks were
single-ended on a separate portion of the controller).
I think I heard somewhere that the SCSI required a
later version of the
OS
What devices were you trying to use? e.g. I wonder if they added OS support
for SCSI streaming tape but not disk, or something like that...
cheers
