I have been offered one of the above boxes over the phone.I would 
appreciate hearing from anyone who knows anything about it; particularily,
what CPU & O/S.  Thank you.  Tom Reid.

The Sycor 350 is about 10 years old by now.  It's an 8080, with a 
proprietary O.S.  I worked with them when I was in the Army; we used
them for key-to-disk data entry systems.  The hardware was pretty sturdy,
but not very powerful.  The software was terrible.  My advice is to pass.
