That's a very nice machine. I very much enjoyed hacking on mine; I
regret getting rid of it (as I have many things) but I hope to own
another someday.
Mine (again I *think* it was a Model 41...it was a 6' rack with a
9-track tape drive, a CDC Keystone) was set up in my apartment with an
HP ThinkJet as its printer. I always thought the size difference was
cute. :)

Yeah, you
and me both! I had two of them in 1989 or so, a Model
=20
21 and a Model (I think) 41. I sold the former and ran the latter =20
for quite a while. It was a really, really nice machine! ZEUS =20
(Zilog Enhanced UNIX System) performed well and seemed nicely done =20
overall.
You're convicning me to get mine out and get it running again....
I have a model 30 (I think). It's built in 4 slices. The bottom 2 are
just RS23 distribution panels, then next slice contains an SMD
winchester and a QIC tape drtive, the top slice contains the cardcage.
I
remembr looking at the boards and seeing the Z8001 + suppoert devices,
and Z80s on some of the otehr boards (not too suprising).
