VX FT (Titan)

Background

The FT was Apricot's first dedicated server product.   The Development codename was 'Titan' - a highly appropriate name give the sheer bulk of the VX FT (the machine's packaging had an integrated forklift pallet).   Two large pop-up carrying handles were built into the top surface to help move the thing into position (and it was a two person job)


The VC FT had an integrated battery in its base to provide an uninterruptible power supply.


The Front of the FT had a control panel that could be used to manage core functions of the server.


The front drive bays were protected by a motorised sliding cover controlled by one of the front panel buttons.  This bay was illuminated when open, so our engineers inevitable started calling if the 'fridge door' (probably helped by the fact that it was literally the size of a fridge).


The VX FT was (sadly for Apricot) yet another technically ambitious dead-end, as the market was about to transition to rack-mounted servers.


Almost all the VX FT units I saw were used for running Novell Netware, although they were offered with Xenix as well.
