Hello,

I came across 2 Intel PC's and I wonder if anyone knows anything about them.

They are actually called MultiBus systems, and have a 286/12 processor,
a 287 co-processor, a 40 meg hard drive, and oodles of 25 pin connector
on the back (which, I believe, are for hooking up terminals).

My questions are:  Can this run Dos?  Can it run Unix?  Will it support
a video card and monitor or do I need a dumb terminal to go with it?
Where does the keyboard hook up (if indeed it does)?

I called Intel, but got a major run-around.  Someone did say it was
originally for industrial use, and is probably a MultiBus 1 (or A).

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Joseph R. Skoler
