Hey, just registered to post about these two microcomputers I found in a trash pile at an antique store. They seem to be in good condition outside and as far as I've looked inside, so I was wondering what I should do with them. I do like collecting old PCs, but these are outside of my small knowledge base. From what I could find, mostly from wiki articles and museum pages, they were decently expensive multi-user Unix systems intended for businesses that didn't need an entire mainframe or minicomputer.
So begs the question, what do I do with them realistically? I'm pretty young and got into vintage computers recently, so if they do work I couldn't really do them justice on the user side, and is it advisable to even plug them in and turn them on? Do they need something specific to run that I'm not even aware of? I also know nothing about any non DOS/Windows operating system, so any advice for what to play around with on them if they work is cool too.
