I have an ALTOS model 586, non-functioning with a DC600 or some similar size
tape cartridge drive. Do you knonw anyting about that thing? It appears to
be a multiuser/server unit of some sort, as it supports a number of serial
ports. I bought this thing about a year ago because one of the folks on
this list asked me to He later changed his mind and the thrift store where
I got it wouldn't even take it back because it was not PC or MAC gear.

Subject: Altos machines
Does anyone have any pointers to sites on the web
which cover Altos
machines? I've done a search on Yahoo and a couple of other places and
turned up nothing.
I'm particularly interested in information on the Unix systems they were
making around 1990 - we had one at work, an i386 in a tower case. Not PC
compatible IIRC, possibly called an "Altos III" or something similar.
While I'm on the subject, would anyone in the UK have one of these they
want
rid of?
TTFN - Pete.
