Start of my CAD career

I'm starting to model the office which I started my CAD career in.
Four 3D wire frame CAD stations running on a Data General Eclipse S120 (10MGhz, 1MG RAM I think), Anyone recognize the equipment or take a guess at the approx. year.

Very good, I worked with this equipment from 81 till about 89, then Acad took over. This company is still using Acad.

By the late 80s I was working on 'Silicon Graphics Indigos' using 'Sonata' [the grandpa of Revit]... -
