Any one know anything about a Xerox 6060. I've got a free one to pickup
tomorrow and I'm wondering what it is and is it worth the effort. It's
set up with a 10/10 Bernoulli box too. There doesn't seem to be much on
Google about it as Xerox also uses 6060 as the model number of a large
digital printing press.

I really wish it would be, those things sell on the used market for
over a hundred grand. They use an Ultrasparc workstation as a manager's
console.

It's a nice little Xerox badged Olivetti. 8088, I think. About the same
as an AT&T 6300.

It seems to be the same as an Olivetti M24 I just read on the net.
(Perhaps I should put all my finds together in one mail next time....)

IIRC the M24 is the same as the AT&T 6300. The AT&Ts were made by Olivetti and
used 8086 CPU and 16 bit bus and non standard keyboards and monitors. The monitors had
slightly higher resolution than the PCs and the electrical interfaces were very
different.

Thanks fot the link. I've been on his site before, I just don't
remember the Xerox. I'll go ahead and keep it. I only have a few
machines from the DOS days.

Ow and if someone has the BYTE September 1986 Issue, it should have a
review in it of the Xerox 6060.
