DECpc 433 workstation/any documentation on this? - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

...
 I found the above box recently and would like to get it
up. Can anyone
help me with info on this?  The ram has been pulled as has the cpu so I
need to know what its chip settup was.  Seems to be Intel stuff
otherwise. There are numerous adds on the net re; ram for this but
virtually no other info.  Other than that, the information I've collected
is that it ran off of Dos (!?!) and was used in a token ring.
Interesting layout inside. 
I believe there are multiple 433 systems... if the type you have is
a table-top unit about two inches thick with the 3.5" floppy on the
right side of the unit, I might be able to help... contact me off-list.
...
  I also need to know if there was anything special
about the floppy
drive as I'd need to replace that as well.  Last, is there anyway to rig
a harddrive into one of these?  
Again, if it is the one I mentioned above, yes, you can have a hard
drive -- but it has to be a notebook-type 2.5" drive.  I think the
floppy is a standard RX23... though you might be able to put in an
RX26 (2.88Mb).
