I have one like this, ex-Apollo.  Does anyone know anything 
about interfaces for them?  It came with two huge 50-pin
ribbon cables, but I suspect it's not SCSI...

BTW, my datestamp reads 19/12/61, but that's DD/MM/YY, of 
course.  Did my first BASIC programming on a PET 2001 in
1978, then went on to a Prime P750 in 1981 and V7 Unix on
a PDP-11/44 in 1982.  Worked on Suns 1989-1998 (as well as
transputers) and am now regarded as an Old Phart because
I can remember how to use a command-line interface!
