Hi,
	Have I got what you need ever!!!

		    -AN-

	INTERDATA 8/32C  MegaMiniComputer!!!

Interdata made the first 32Bit Super minicomputers ever.  The 8/32C was 
the FIRST machine that Western Electric (Bell) ported that new fledgeling
operating system "UNIX" to.

Alas, I never obtained the port for my machine, but maybe you can.  What I
have to sell is:

	1 -	Interdata 8/32C Megamini w/128K parity checked, 4-way
		interleaved CORE memory, writeable code store (WCS),
		4 channel ESELCH (DMA), 2 PASLA's (RS-232), 2 current loop
		interfaces, 8 line interrupt, Universal clock, Loader
		storage unit (LSU), Hex display panel, 10 Mb disk drive,
		"Fly-reader paper tape unit, 360/370 multichannel interface
		unit, 5 - 50A power supplies, 1 - 6'rack cabinet, all cables,
		lots of Disk packs, a few tapes, and more....

	1 -	Carousel 350 letter quality printer with supplies and manual.

	1 -	Complete hardware documentation package.  All schematics and
		installation/programming information.

	1 -	bunch of software, CAL, Fortran, Pascal, BASIC, PL/1, OSMT/32,
		lots of usergroup software (INTERCHANGE).

	1 -	Complete software documentation package.

The unit is in BEAUTIFUL condition, and was WORKING when I turned it off...
and I bet I can make it work again, because, unlike DEC's VAXen, Interdata
equipment was made to survive the rigors of an industrial environment
(eg. needs no airconditioning, power filtering, survives deep brownouts, etc).

I would prefer not to break things up, but will consider it for more money!

I will deliver everything anywhere around Washington/Baltimore Free, anywhere
else for a price.

Make me an offer, this 1 vax mips machine can be yours!!!
