Is that a SystemIII box with dual 68000 processors, input buttons below
the monitor? If so, I happen to have one of them. We used to use it as
a code safe and C compiler for 68000-based projects. Model 7350? (Not
sure at the moment and it's in storage somewhere).
Fun box for its day.

Actually, it only had a single cpu. (10 mhz). Ran SysIII (UniPlus)
SysV (microXelos -- which had it's root in UniPlus SysV), and Idris.
The dual cpu stuff at the time was done by Sun (I think) and Masscomp
(their 500 series stuff).

So, seeing as this topic has moved on to Perkin Elmer, has anyone else
got/used a Model 3600 Data Station?

Yes, I have one with the operating system software. It was used as a data
station and controller for a DSC 4 differential scanning calorimeter. It
uses PETOS (Perkin Elmer Terminal Operating System) as the OS. I also have
a PE model 7300 "professional computer" that was used as a system
controller and data station or a spectrofluorimeter, and the original
documentation and software. This unit uses IDRIS (Whiteside's Unix variant)
as its OS.
The 3600 system is still working, the 7300 has either a bad disk controller
or hard disk.
I need to find homes for these systems, as we are getting some new
spectroscopy equipment here and I have to make room. They would be free for
pickup in Rochester, NY.
There is also some HP 9000/300 workstation equipment that needs to go as well.
