Worth saving, especially if in good condition. Color screen. Dual 1 Meg 8"
floppies, External HD available (I had a NEC 5 1/4" drive for one once) .
Crossover machine CPM-86 & MS-DOS, used DR's Graphic extensions (GSX?), ran
AutoCAD
1.X.....
Of all the collectibles that went through my hands it is one of my favorites.
The biggest disadvantage is it is large and heavy.

I always remembered them for the rather loud "thnirrr-thnirrr,
thnirrrrrr'" noise that the 8" drives made. In a quiet room, doing
something disk-intensive, it soon got not-funny-anymore. ;}
Cheers
