Info needed: Onyx Systems C8000

[Mark B Moore]

After attending the "First Saturday Electronics Flea Market" this weekend in
Dallas, I am the proud(?) owner of an Onyx Systems C8000 Unix box.  I thought
the thing was an over-sized 1/4" tape drive at first.  I got it mainly to
hack around on, but I need to get it working.  If anyone has any information
about this machine, such as:
   How do I get my hands on a Tech Ref?
   How do I make it boot from the tape drive so I can re-install the OS??
   What are the functions of the dip switches?
   What company took over Onyx (so I can call and try to get a Tech Ref)?
   What is the default baud rate and configuration of the tty ports?
   ...
   Anything about this machine
I would appreciate anything you know.

I got the box for $10, so if I can't make it work, no big deal.  But, I
plan to have fun trying.

					Thanks in advance
					Mark
