  I was given this today.  It has a tape backup (and
controler board) and
 the DOS-73 "emulation" board w/ 8087 upgrade (but no 8088... are those
 NCR chips 8088 clones?).  Included is full system software and docs.  I
 wonder if the 5.25 inch disks are still readable.   
  What are the numbers on the NCR chips?

  The computer is slightly dirty on the outside and
dusty inside (on the
 expansion boards).  I think I'll wait untill i can dust out the insides a
 bit before powering it.

 So now I have a Real UNIX(tm) computer!  heh. 
  Cool.  The 7300 is a really neat machine.  I sold them years ago at
a computer store in NJ, and had one for a few years shortly
thereafter.  Lots of fun!  SVR2 UNIX on a 10MB disk with 512KB of RAM!
