That AIN'T tandem, I'm sure.  A couple good friends worked 
for Tandem from very near the beginning, so I know what a 
Non-stop I looks like.  He built one from scrap boards in 
his basement, too.

Also, it is clearly NOT 1990 era, probably much closer to 
mid-1970's.  The cartridge disk drives look a little like 
double-decker Diablos, with the packs in racks on top of the 
cabinets.  The CPUs remind me of TI machines, but these 
would be earlier than the ones I had seen.
