Hello,

  I just recieved an AT&T UNIX PC from a friend who had no idea what
the machine was.  It quit working on him so I craftly removed it from
him for $10 and replaced the HD for $50.  I don't have any system files
yet (I'm pretty sure that I'm getting them from another friend who works
in a computer lab at school), but I know that it works just fine (did manage
to swipe a diagnostic disk and it tested great).  As I was cleaning it I
noticed that it had the IBM coprocessor board and 512 of memory on an
extra board.  I have no idea what model it is.  It was made in 85.  It had
a 20MB miniscribe, green monitor that is attached to the top, one floppy
on the right, anf the slots are underneath.  There are no on board memory
expansion slots.  Can anyone match the model type and let me know?!
  Also, I'm familiar with UNIX and I have seen the UPC in action, but
I've never see the IBM board.  How do i access it?  Do I need any software
to run it (besides probably dos 3.1 or less)?
  To sum up,  I need HELP!  If anyone can help with any aspect, such as
setting up, tips, tricks, place to get manuals (for cheap!!), system
disks, etc I'd be in debt to you.

Thanks a million for your time
