I have another machine, called a Stride, like

told that Sage had to change their name -- don't know why

the Sage II and has a hard disk. Some of the (ex-INMOS)
machines had a QIC-02 tape interface and an internal
quarter-inch tape drive.
Ooh, I've been meaning to ask about that one. There is a Stride at the
usergroup. It's a big tower, grey of colour. Apparently it's 68000 based, but
what kind of system is it, and what OS does it run?
If it's a tower-style case, it may be the bigger model of
Stride with a proper MMU. I was told that they run Unix
(BSD I think), but I've never actually seen one running.
I have the parts of a tower-case machine at home, saved
after someone converted it (with a hacksaw) into a PC case.
