I have come upon a junked UNIX PC (particulars below).  The machine
was trashed because of presumed disk failure (grounding strap noise
from the HD?)

I would appreciate any advice on restoring it or using the parts to
build something else (know of any good 68020/bitmap/HD boards?).  What
I would like is a multitasking PC which runs GNU Emacs and uucp.

Thanks!

Q: Is 3b1 just another name for PC7300/UNIX-PC?

Q: What does it mean when people say they are running OS version 3.51
	is this S5R1? R2? R3?

Q: Is purchasing the chips on qty 1 going to be prohibative?
	are any of them custom?

Q: Would the platform run 'X'? Or is the window system reasonable?
