      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.

          Not that old.

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

                I worked on a similar 'Calcomp IGS 500' setup at the very same time - it was in the UK [it was the 1st CAD installation in England!]...
                By the late 80s I was working on 'Silicon Graphics Indigos' using 'Sonata' [the grandpa of Revit]...

                  The digitizers were Calcomp, but the equipment was manufactured by a California company, which was purchased by GE around 1979.
