A classic example of a huge plastic data entry workstation that resembled a desk for two operators with a couple of small IBM boards in it. 150 pounds of non recyclable plastic, IIRC. Two small 9"? mono monitors & two keyboards for two operators to enter data. Two original IBM 8" disk drives. It has been 10 years since I have seen one so I hope my memory is correct. It was a small business data entry station that could be better done with two terminals. I believe it could be used with the System one besides the /32. I also think you could hook up a printer directly. IBM made things large because it was expected of them. After all in 1975 it couldn't be a real computer peripheral or worth big bucks if it wasn't large. Very poor scrap. 60 Cubic feet of plastic garbage. It definitely is a collectable if complete and you have space for it. I doubt many were saved. The chassis stuck around because 4 of them would fill a dumpster. Paxton
