I miss my 8250. :(
It was an awesome machine too. Three cabinets, four RA-81
drives and a
TU-81+ tape drive. I paid $500 for it, straight out of the machine room
at
Mannesmann-Tally in Kent, WA in the early
90's.
Nice rig.
I still have my 8300 in the basement that I rescued when my employer
closed in the mid 1990s (we bought it as a bare 8200, second-hand for
$13000, then I nabbed a compatible CPU module for around $100-$200.
The biggest I ever brought home was a rack 4000. It was just a rack and the
computer. No drives :(
