Hi all,
I figured I might as well offer it to anyone interested before giving it to electronics recycling. It's a Dec Pro 350 with a keyboard and monitor. It's intact, and the hard drive is still inside. The fans turned on the last time I plugged it in, but I never got it to boot up after acquiring it.
I'm in BC, Canada, within spitting distance of Sumas, Washington, USA. (So, an hour or two from Vancouver.)
Let me know if you're interested in picking it up. Otherwise, it's out to pasture. :-)

It's likely a 10MB ST-412, judging from a quick Google search. It could also be a 5MB ST-506. I'd likely remember if it was any better than those, so I wouldn't bet on it being anything else. I'd have to open it up again to be sure.

Unfortunately, looking at the connectors does not tell you anything.

The NET/1 port is actually the ethernet port. However, the connector is
always there. The card might, or might not. You need to look in the card
cage.

Ah, yes. I'd forgotten.

Unfortunately, no ethernet card. :/
