Sellam, can you post a pic? This thing sounds cool (I'm a sucker for
oddball eight-bitters).

Subject: Varian 402 Data Station

I found a Varian 402 Data Station. It's basically a Z80 machine with a
built-in CRT, 2 disk drives, and a thermal printer. It's huge.
When I fire it up, I get no activity on the CRT, but the thermal printer
goes into a self-test, pauses for a moment, then repeats. It does this
endlessly, so something must be wrong.
No activity on the disk drives either.
A Google search turned up nothing useful.
Anyone have any experience with these things?

Dang it, I was thinking to snap a photo of it tonight when I was at the
warehouse but I had a lot to do. I'll get one later this week. It's
gonna be tough because I stuck it up on the top shelf of a rack.
