OMG I used to work on a computer that ran some sort of multiuser CP/M (but
not MP/M) that booted from an 8" floppy and had a winchester inside- I
think it was an Andromeda. I think it was S100.
Is that possible? Is my memory failing?

Looks like a box with 2x 8"
floppydrives to me. The texts next to the
switches are hard to read, but one of them seems to read
"BOOT"
There appears to be another compartment below the drives.
Also, there are D-sub connectors on the back that look like
they are for connecting terminals or other I/O.
I bring this up because of a few references I dug up on the
internet that link Andromeda Systems with DEC-compatible gear.
My guess is that this is an LSI-11 system, but it's just a
guess.
