We have one in the MARCH collection. I'm not sure
about its status.
I have an 860IPS also, with some documentation and word processing
software, although not nearly as much as this eBay chap has.
I picked it up from an author in Minneapolis who used it to write his
masterpieces on. I've never actually gotten around to turning it on, at
first because the queue of things ahead of it was too long, and then later
because the hand-grenade-sized capacitors in the PSU made me nervous.
One of these days I must build/purchase a cap tester. Anyone got one
spare? ;)

That is VERY COOL !!! :-)
I hope someone from the list picks this up and brings it to a VCF
show, I'd love to see it working...
That also reminds me, I have a couple of Xerox 6085's "Daybreak"
systems I bought a few years back that I just don't have the free time
to give attention to and devote desk space for. Anyone interested
in them (trade/sale) ? Just the main CPU boxes, no monitors or
keyboards, though I found a connection in TN that has a nice stockpile
of spare monitors and keyboards, but just never found the chance/time
to pursue.
Email me off-list if interested.
