They build a database machine which supports large SMD type disks, a micro (Z8000) to perform the query processing, an accelerator made of ECL to make things go fast, and various sorts of interfaces (RS-232 and IEEE-488 at least). I had experience with very early models (1981), Serial No. ~25 or so. They were okay but had some bugs in the communications and were missing various important things like a way to back up large databases. -Todd K.
