The Olivetti/AT&T/Xerox machine had 16 bit and 8

other issues.
This sounded like the 6300+, a pre AT 286. It ran Unix (SYSV 3.0 I think).
I used to provide network support for these machines (and the 7300's, 3B1's,
3B2's, 3B5's, 3B15's, but not the 3B20S or 2B20D). One thing to watch out
for: a floppy will fit nicely under the floppy drive (I've had calls and
actually did it myself once when not paying attention).
BTW: the hotline is not longer there so don't call in to register the
warranty card (someone offered it her on the list). ;-)
