Help me identify this!

Post by joshwester01 »

I stumbled upon this forum when attempting to identify an old piece of hardware I've had laying around for 20+ years. I know it's a Casablanca, and I believe it to be one of the original models but I'm really not sure. Does anyone recognize this?

That's a Casablanca (1) ("Classic") from 1997-1999.
  • Motorola CPU with 25 or 50 MHz
  • 16 or 32 MB RAM
  • 2-18 GB SCSI hard-drive in drawer
  • analog and optional FireWire IN/OUT
  • 3,5" floppy drive with hardware bound system software discs
Some systems are still running today. But most of them have been trashed. :?

I still have 100's of discs for that unit; maybe about 30 software titles still available for sale.

It won the WEVA award 10 years ago, and they made this Video for their award show:
