I used to have a terminal like the one in the picture. I had it before
I knew much about computers. Mid to late 80s, I think. I found it in a
trash dump, on a farm, while my dad and I were putting up a tree stand,
on some property owned by the father, of a lady at church. I wish I
still had it, at least then I could document exactly what it was.

A friend of mine recently offered to get me a
Zilog System 8000
system that he says is currently acting as a plant stand. Does anyone
have any information on these systems, and if it is not a larger
machine (I am interested in workstation and mini class machines),
would anyone have an interest in this box?
Here's a picture from a brochure:

It's a multi-user system based on the Zilog Z8000. Fairly rare (mine is
the only one I've ever seen), and worthy of rescue.
