Josh, which video card do you have? The later machines used 7220-based

Looks like it's got a 7220D in it. The monitor appears to be
monochrome. I put up some pictures of the machine and its PCBs at:

Also, it appears that I got two Terak floppies with the machine -- they
were left in the drives. Probably not the best way to ship floppies
across the country. One of them is a lost cause, the magnetic media is
delaminating, but I was able to make an image of the other, and I put it
up (in IMD and raw format) at:

Scanning the dump for strings reveals:
"MINN/DRAFT COMPUTER-AIDED DRAFTING SYSTEM DEVELOPED AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA JUNE 20, 1980"
So I guess that makes it relatively clear what the disk contains :).
