Um, yeah.  It did.  I bought the machine for $500 from Mannesmann Tally in 
Kent, WA.  A friend and I removed the 8250 from their machine room and 
transported it to my home.  I had two 30A services installed in the 
upstairs of my house and that's where I set the machine up.

They'd wiped the drives before I got them, but they did give me the Ultrix 
install media.  I got it home on a Friday night and had it running Ultrix 
by Sunday afternoon.

Some months later I traded it to a friend that an 8350 in his garage.
