    I first encountered one of these when I was a customer, at the 1983 Spring
    US DECUS Symposium in St Louis.  I think it was intended to be Digital's
    entry into the then-nascent workstation market, but it never came about
    (I'm not sure why).

    I don't think it was ever released.  If it was, it would have to run an
    oddball set of software (this was before OpenVMS, remember.. ;-) because
    it's 68000-based (I know only because I salvaged one).

    I doubt that it's really usable in this day and age; if not, you might
    consider approaching some guardian of Digital hardware history, such as
    Alan Frisbie or the Computer Museum, to see if they might want to buy it.
