I had one of these quite some time ago. I didn't have much luck with it. I
don't recall the model number, but it was black, and for an 80's machine,
that was mildly radical. It was also obliquely shaped - i.e., it wasn't
exactly square on the sides, but I think it bowed out a bit.
Mine was rather big, tho, in four boxes - the CPU in one box, a QIC-80 in
another box, and two boxes with Quantum 8" 80mb drives.
It was some sort of unix machine, which is partially the reason why I didn't
have much luck with it. The filesystems were corrupt and/or destroyed, and I
didn't have any tapes. I think Codata even still existed at the time I owned
it, but wasn't able to spend $$$ for an OS, and this was long before NetBSD.
Being 68k, I'd bet NetBSD runs on it (I think it's VME based)
A friend has a somewhat odd machine.
"Codata systems" [no, NOT coRdata]
It's about the size of an XT, with one floppy, one hard disk, and a card
cage of boards that are slightly longer than S-100. One of the boards in
it has a 68000. It has 8 DB25 ports (wired 1-8 and 20)?
Is anyone here familiar with it?
