This was the first minicomputer in my collection and lives in a 6 foot rack next to my Eclipse S/130. It's the only machine in my collection with core memory.
I've found that the CPU works fine since I've been able to enter a program via the front panel and execute it without a hitch. Once I get RDOS booted, I'll be in heaven!
