RAM could that beast take?
It'd be quite the conversation piece as a workstation running NetBSD
(or something) and XWindows... 8-) Looks like an AT&T logo on the front.
Probably an NCR if it has MCA
slots.

ISTR "3555" is a model of NCR box. We used them when I was at Lucent
(they were bought before AT&T "trivested" into AT&T, NCR and Lucent).
They typically run SYSVr4, but I was told that you _could_ boot them
to DOS and play DOOM on them (I didn't ask ;-)
Big ones like that were MCA. Newer NCR servers were 1/3 the size and
PCI. I think most of ours were quad Pentium-90 boxes....
