I have one of those.  I brought it to VCF East two years ago for the
Mother of all UNIX Demos.  I think there's 300-400KB free on that
RD50.

It is indeed slow as dirt.  Also, 'date' only allows for 2-digit
years, so I had to write a utility to accept UNIX epoch time to set
the date past the Y2K boundary.
