The "only service at Radio Shack" tag it split.
Right now, I'm busy soaking the Model 2 dust cover that came with it.
Gross oily substance all over it, but it was over the unit all these
years, so it did its job. ;)

Put up some pics if you can! I've wanted a
Model II forever, if for
nothing else that it has 8" drives and to see it run Xenix :)
For Xenix you need a Model 16 or 6000, since Xenix runs on an MC68000
processor that is not present in the Model 2 or 12. The Model 2 could
be upgraded, though. Not sure about the 12; it was a cost-reduced 2,
and an upgrade would probably require completely replacing the power
supply and card cage.
