Was it one of their UNIX setups, or one with the 'lesser' 68k board (which
seemed primarily designed as a development system rather than a serious machine)?
If it was one of the UNIX systems, I'd be *very* interested if the new owner
manages to get any data from the drive. I've got quite a few Torch 68k boards,
plus a Torch 725 machine, but no complete set of UNIX install discs - and the
hard drive in the 725 is utterly toast. I'm pretty sure a UNIX snapshot from a
68000 HD system would be a drop-in replacement...
cheers
