Does anybody know anything about this machine?
Not even a keyboard or monitor port on it!

Just had a VERY nice conversation with Tom from Intergraph tech support.
Needless to say, this has been obsolete for many years. It was a plotter
server, ran Clix (proprietary version of Unix), the largest hdd it would
take was a 600mb 68-pin SCSI. It does have a 360kb floppy. Communication
is through the RS-232 port in VT-220 mode only.
IF he can find the keys, software, and docs for this old beast, he will
email me back.

Would be interesting to see if it still works. Hope that guy can score
some software for you. ;)

The exterior design reminds me a bit of an Intergraph CLIPPER
UNIX ("CLIX") system I used to have (and regret having parted
with, unknowingly, as a teen running out of space).

I wish there was an Intergraph wiki or short summary of models with
specs. Maybe I would even choose what I would like to want, if any.

Intergraphs are the great forgotten workstations using the great
forget microprocessor.
But then, Intergraph has been complete dicks about being hobbyist friendly.

I have a fellow co-worker who used to work for Intergraph during its
heyday. I asked him about it so we'll see what he has to say.

That I remember too well, back in the 1990s, which certainly must
have contributed to me parting with my CLIPPER back then...

They did have a closed door policy to everyone except those with deep pockets
and a need for their software.
Some of the their workstations where Sun SPARC's and later they built their
own Intel based desk top systems. These where very nice systems. Had all for
the latest Video, SCSI, Dual Processors, at that time. They ran NT with their
software. I still have 2 running at work. They will probably out live me.
(None with their software) TD-30 and TDZ-300. The latter is a Dual Pentium
PRO.

This one is likely not one of either, but CLIPPER (look it up).

You're thinking of different systems now. (Those came later.)

Here's what my friend has to say about the machine:
A very low end clipper based server for graphics and other uses even
numbers in other languages work.
It was a 5 mips Clipper C 100 processor( a lot for 1989) with a Intel 80186
io processor with 8 or 16 MB of memory. Probably used the same card set as
the low end workstation with out the graphics. It probably ran System V
Unix. Collectors of obscure computer may be interested. I think I have a
processor card for it. If it had graphics it would be called an Interpro
200. You may have trouble filling up the 166MB drive. About 5x faster than
a VAX780. I had a very similar machine for a home machine for quite a few
years. Vern had a C100 as a home machine also. Where did you run across it?

This one came with a batch of plotters from US military surplus years ago.

I saw that too. If they got rid of that prop, I think it would have given
a better cold war feel.

Yep, saw that too yesterday and also thought it looked like an ADM-3A.
But didn't the one on the show have a keypad? More like an ADM-5?
I'll have to go back and look at the show again.

I once worked in a lab that had an Intergraph x86/NT machine for 3D
modelling -- from what I remember, it supposedly had a very
complete/performant implementation of OpenGL compared to other
machines of the era. The hardware itself seemed robust and well put
together.
It was around this time (late 90's-ish) that SGI made a devil's
bargain with Microsoft to adopt Windows NT and co-develop a new
graphics API ("Fahrenheit"), which marked the beginning of their rapid
decline into irrelevance.

Oh yes, that was without much doubt the most idiotic thing SGI ever
did. DEC made the same mistake(s).
