They have 2, 5" floppys in front, and a small panel with 4 push switches, and a couple of other switches. They fit a 19" rack and run on 120v. They have a ton of db25, rs232 ports on the back. They were running a custom C program and a debugger for a company, along with the standard operating system. They had at least 3 terminals and 2 printers and a bunch of machine processes running electrical devices. Something like 18 devices on rs232. One machine was a hot standby. I know they were running with LA120 printers and a few screens I forget the number...191 maybe??, none of which is available... They were operating last I know, but were simply turned off and replaced. (by a crappy 386PC network!!) They have been sitting in a warehouse for the last 8 years, and were thrown out to make room. They are tremendously dirty!! Looks like parts from a coal mine!! And they weigh a ton!! If I had the monitor/keyboard I'd run them for fun, but I don't have the time to persue another hobby!! And I don't know if the dirt has ruined the floppys. Anyone have any interest in this stuff? Also a box of junked 120 printer parts? Thanks
