I have acquired an NCR Tower 16/32.  Just the box, no terminal, no docs.
I do know that the NCR Tower is a Unix machine.  It has a 5.25" floppy
drive on the front and an internal HD.  Processor is a Motorola 68000.
I haven't tried to light it up yet, but I know that Unix is very picky about
logons and passwords.  Since I haven't a clue what the usernames or passwords
are (or who the last legitimate owner was - I picked it up at an auction for $5) 
does anyone have a clue how to circumvent those checks and wake the thing up?
