I have a computer that I rescued some time ago (dumpster).
It is a custom 386 platform.
The company is VersysS
The box boots, and thankfully has no root password.
It is running AT&T Unix System5/386 3.2
It appears to have 8Meg of RAM.
It has a 1/4" tape drive (I think 150M) and a 500 Meg SCSI HD (Fujitsu).
Unfortunately it does not have a network interface.
It also doesn't appear to have a compiler.. <sigh>.
What I was hoping to do is to use PPP over serial to get this baby
on the network (although I don't know that the installed kernel supports
any networking). There is a spot for a network option, but this box
doesn't have it.
It's kinda a lump in this state....
Anyone got any suggestions... anyone familiar with these boxes ?
I doubt this is PC arch... definately appears all custom, and does
not take traditional ISA/etc cards (I've only dived in briefly, but
the chassis would not support cards in the PC sense).
Hope someone has some clues here... maybe some install media (1/4"
tape I assume), anyone got a network option for it ? :-)
It is model 8000-0150.
