Open it and crak it up. make full copies and backups. Save all packaging
by sliting the edges or whatever so that any making is preserved. Exploit
and document the machine to the world as I have no clue what a 3b1 is or
the cpu it used. Though I do remember the ads.

Damn, does this mean I actually have to get off my ass and do some real
work?
Gimme a day or three to reread my docs and FAQs and condense things.
As a start, the CPU was a 10Mhz MC68010, memory was 512k to 2MB on the
motherboard, expandable with cards to at most 4MB. Disk was 10MB to
67MB stock, and no expansion was possible 67MB (1024 cyl by 8 head) was
ever supported -- the users came up with ways to add a second and/or
larger hard disk, but most of the components needed have long been
discontinued.
