So this is one of the motivations for imaging and emulating one of those ancient SCSI drives. I don't think I've booted this thing since I left Be in 2000 and am very curious if it still works.

I was wondering if any documentation survived on the Hobbit and sure enough @bitsavers has it covered:

@swetland somewhere @NanoRaptor is begging you to remove the batteries

Attached: 1 image Do you have even a minor retro collection? Or some older machines still running? The batteries inside them, especially 1/2AA lithiums, do tend to leak and destroy everything in their bubbling corrosive wake. Check for them and remove them all.

@dsandler @NanoRaptor Pretty sure this critter has no batteries. I will keep an eye out just in case.
@swetland I don't know why, but I have a soft spot for the TH/SMT cross-over era...aesthetic.
