Pertec 3000?
I don't recognize that machine either, but my father was one of the
founders of "Peripheral Business Equipment", which was later renamed to
"Pertec" (perhaps because no one could spell peripheral), and still later
renamed "PCC" for Pertec Computer Corporation.
My experience with their machines leads me to suspect that it is a
proprietary multi-user operating system, perhaps based around COBOL batch
jobs.
The main founder of Pertec, Bob Kleist (a neighbor of mine while growing
up), long ago sold his interest in the company (which he claimed to have
started with that intent), and is now playing with printers for fun at the
company he started when he left Pertec, Printronix, which I believe he
still controls.

Thanks for the insider information – I think I'm going to remcmoimmmmend
re-keying this data into a new PC -based network, because rescuing
the data might be an interesting adventure but otherwise a waste
of time, and besides, it will let them clean up their inventory in
the process.
