I saw that, and I have my doubts about its

many systems have been built over the years and stay off the public's radar.
Sometimes, a third party will contract with a manufacturer to build and sell
Tempest versions of their computers that look more or less like the
originals. (GRiD did this for years.) And if this really was such a top
secret system, why did it end up at a salvage dealer?
Can anyone on this list shed more light on this Mac?
I've been planning to make a visit to the DigiBarn where this is being
displayed. I'm also writing to Bruce to get more information.
