                  Wicat Systems 150-WS-3 Workstation


This four year old workstation has the following characteristics:

   + 68000 with proprietary memory management scheme

   + IEEE 796 Multibus

   + 10 Mbyte winchester disk

   + 960 Kbyte 5 1/4 inch floppy (double sided/double density)

   + 2 RS-232C serial ports

   + 1 parallel port

   + 256 Kbytes Wicat memory

   + 512 Kbytes MMI (Micro Memory Inc.) memory (model MM-9000D)

   + VT100 compatible integral console terminal/keyboard

This workstation is a self contained system.  The  CRT  terminal,
Multibus backplane, power supplies, etc. are mounted in a desktop
enclosure.

     The MMI memory board is socketed  for  easy  repair/upgrade.
The  board  currently  is populated with 512 kbytes of 64k chips.
This can be expanded to 1 Mbyte by plugging in more  chips.   The
board can accept 256k chips (via a field upgrade) to increase the
capacity of the board to 4 Mbytes.

     Recent engineering change orders (ECO's) have been  made  to
the  hardware.   Release  5.1 of Wicat's MCS real-time multiuser,
multitasking operating system and "C" compiler are on the system.
(Unix is also available for this machine.)

     Nice machine.  Original cost $12k, asking $2500 O.B.O.
