- Which are badge-engineered NCR towers running a 12.4 Mhz 68010 (U5000/20 & 40)
- with a NCR propriety memory manager up to a 16.67 Mhz 68020 (U5000/30 & 50)
- with the same memory management. Does up to SVR2, the Unisys one has some
- extras not available with the NCR (NCR unix comes on 2 tapes, U5000 does 3).

- Any mistakes, please to be forgiving of me :-) , I've only got a Sperry
- U5000/20 and a coupla NCR 32/6xx Towers at home. Speaking of which....
- Anyone have some surplus memory cards for the NCR? Working or not happy with
- either, I've only got one meg of good memory and one with dual parity errors.
- I'd like some spare bits before I rip into them... Also nice would be a disk
- controller as I only have one between two machines :-( . The SCSI board would
- be nice too.... (ya gotta ask!).
