Well, if it truly does have 8 inch floppy drives, it's
probably one of the TRS-80 "business oriented"
machines - Model 2, 12, 16, etc. Possibly even a NEC
APC. But, if this guy is like some of the people I
have encountered, it's a 286 clone with a 5 1/4 drive
- "it uses those HUGE old floppies!"

Good luck with it, hopefully it will be something
cool. Let us know how it goes.
