Subject: NGEN B26 - CTOS floppy? Was Convergence Technologies Series 186
Since I'm replying to my own post, I get to top
post too. The little
goober is a Convergence Technologies NGEN B26 cluster node, except this
one's fitted with a copy-protection serial dongle and a Barondata
keyboard. Looks like court-reporting software. It's an 8MHz 80186,
512k memory, weird green-screen graphics. Still haven't gotten past the
password prompt, but at least I know what it is now. There's a picture
of a B26 without the disk module at:

Add Burroughs to the search. There's even a spamnet-news group for
BTOS/CTOS. I was subscribed for a while, most of hte traffic dealt with the
later hardware, but the B25 & B26 stuff was mentioned from time to time.
I had the CPU box alone, but never managed to find anything else so I
donated it to Merle.
