Last week I sent three Tek8560 computers to Tek-RAMS (Recycle & Material
Salvage) store.  They were all marked as operational, production instruments,
so they might make it to the viewing floor.

All three 8560s have Tnix V2.1c (V7 Unix), an 8" floppy drive for ~1-Mbyte DSDD
floppies, 2 printer ports, with my "task" program as a menu interface to Unix
commands, tutorials, games, manuals, and a checkbook balancing program.
I stuffed a Tnix manual and a couple 8" floppies in each unit.
Great for someone who wants to learn Unix!
Their 8" floppy drive is a major disadvantage, although you can connect via
RS232 to a computer with a 5.25" floppy drive.

Two units were 8562s with a DEC LSI-11/73 CPU, 1-Mbyte RAM, 40-Mbyte Micropolis
  1304 fullheight harddrive, 8 tty/RS232 ports
One unit was an 8561 with a DEC LSI-11/23 CPU, .5Mbyte RAM, 15-Mbyte Seagate
  ST419? fullheight harddrive, 4 tty/RS232 ports

RAMS is located in building 02 on the Tek Beaverton campus just a few blocks
north of TV highway.  Take Hocken road (one block west of Cedar Hills Blvd.)
north to the second Tek building on your left -- the one just past the
railroad tracks.  That should be building 02.
