What is this rare multi-user UNIX workstation? (Plexus P/20)
What we have on the bench is a Plexus P/20 dual processor multi-user UNIX computer from 1985. This was likely designed for office user and support 8 concurrent users in this configuration, with up to 16 possible with the use of an extra I/O processor card. This machine doesn’t seem to be documented anywhere other than a simple brochure (link below) so let’s see if we can unravel some of the mysteries of this machine.
