Do you have the monitor and/or keyboard for it, too?
1. Were these used with an external disk? There
is some room inside the
machine, but there are also several strange looking capacitors there.
Yes, they were used with either an external SCSI disk enclosure
known as a "shoebox" or with a network disk (NFS). The latter
setup was known as a diskless workstation.
I have some shoeboxes in storage for those machines. I think they have
1 Gig 5 1/4 full ht drives inside and have the oldstyle 3 row 50 pin
rectangular SCSI connector. No CPUs anymore, nor cables.. Very heavy
for shipping.. If you need one let me know.
