You, my friend, are the proud (?) owner of an CT-AWS aka NCR-Worksaver
(AB-Dick Mumblesomething).  "Better" configurations of this thing have
640K Mem, 8086 8MHz CPU, 15MB disk.  What do you want to do with it?
There is some OK word processing capability there... not exactly a
great development environment.  I'd be glad to talk with you on this
(we still have a couple here).  Daytime phone is (717)783-3256.

CTOS is one of those "way of life" type OSes... you may not want to
start off with this... kindof like learning to be a Studebaker mechanic.
