System 23 Data Master information

There were two varieties of System 23/Datamaster: (i) the all-in-one model - the frequently seen 5322; and (ii) the seldom seen tower model, the 5324. The 5324 came in three or four pieces: a CPU unit, with our without floppy drive, a monitor, a keyboard and external floppy drive unit (if the CPU unit lacked a floppy drive). Both units could also be coupled with a 5347 hard drive, which came in either 23 or 37 MB sizes housed in a heavy (110 lb.) cabinet. I have never owned a complete 5324, but I once had a monitor unit from the 5324 from which I removed the display module to replace a burned out one in my 5322, which was basically the same except for the connector. I displayed my 5322 at VCF 5 and 6. (http://www.vintage.org/pictures/VCF%206.0%20-%20Wayne%20Smith%20Exhibit .jpg) Although I don't have a 5324, I have full documentation on it, the necessary disks to get it to work, etc. The yellow user binders that Al Kossow sent you the pictures of were essentially the same for the 5322 and 5324 except that Volume 1 varied slightly depending on which unit you owned. I have both versions. -W
