Almost sounds like something from the government - even the name. How
much are they asking for it? If it's not that much, it may be worth it
just to get it and see just what the heck it actually was for...

Subject: What the hell is a NightHawk 5800?
Date: Tuesday, August 18, 1998 1:07 PM
I was offered a NightHawk 5800 computer today. What the &*&% is it?
I've
never heard of one. It was made by Harris Computer
Systems and it's
supposed to have 16Mb, Memory tape unit, a 5802 processor, 64 Meg Local
Memory, 64 Meg Global Memeory, 2 slot front plane (front plane???), SCSSI
Interface (no that's not a typo), Eagle Eatha Net Card, 4 mm DAT drive
and
two 1 G hard drives. The operating system and a LARGE
pile of manuals
are
included. Any one know anything about this? ANY
idea what it's worth?
Is it usefull for anything?
