2.x software, extra keyboards, extra cards, extra HDD;s and extra tape drives.
It also has an extra ESDI hard drive labeled Reno 4.3.
Was there a port of 4.x BSD to the ROMP processor? I thought that it was tried
but not completed.
Absolutely.
There is also a backup tape labeled AOS?
That stands for Academic Operating System, aka 4.3BSD Looks like you have
it both installed on a drive and sitting on the tape.
There is also a port of 4.4BSD floating around which is far less complete
and somewhat unstable.
