[TUHS] Do you have any historical UNIX computers?

My most prized UNIX computer is the original LF/Technologies CUBIX from 
1987. It's an 11" cube with a built-in UPS (weighs a ton), an 80286 CPU, 
several serial ports, and runs System V release 2. This box was part of 
the original Stargate project, broadcasting Usenet over Satellite to 
Cable TV.

I also have a UNIX PC 7300 and a couple SparcStation 1+ and a 10, along 
with a pair of 13w3 monitors. And an Ann Arbor Ambassador terminal in 
twisted mode.

These are currently in my virtual museum at https://stargatemuseum.org/. 
It is my hope that someday they will go in a physical museum.

Thanks,
