[Milsurplus] Mystery Project-- Can you ID the Radio?

[raymond Cote]

Yep have a 286 with a Seagate ST225 hard drive (that is a whopping 20 MB of 
data)
also have sundry computers with dos3.3, and all the variations of windoze 
since then collecting dust, although they work in their own fashion and some 
will be used to run programs to control external devices.
