The Pro 325, 350 and the 380s use the same case which is about 3 inches wider
than the Rainbows. The Pro series can be upgraded by just swapping the
Motherboards. They also have an interior upright cardcage for the accessory
cards. I think this is why they need the larger case.
In the Rainbow the accessory cards lay parallel and on top of the Motherboard.
Both use different floor stands that look alike but are different sizes.

I can be 100% certain that my Pro 325 is in the large case (same length as
the desktop BA23 pretty much). And the Rainbow and Pro 350 that I have seen
were in the same size case.. I dunno if I saw a 380 or not, but if Emanuel
has one then I've seen it and it would live in the same case also... If
anyone has manuals and software for the 325 let me know, I have none and am
about to deepsix it due to frustration.

I have a TU10 that has worked, generally, for the 10 years since I got
it. However, earlier this year it failed, with problems during the load
sequence.
I have traced the problem to failed (and nearly failed) vacuum
sensors. The two "fail safe" sensors at the bottom of the two columns had
both failed (I suspect because during operation they were always in a low
pressure state), and one of the other sensors near the bottom of one column
had also failed. I suspect at least one more failure is imminent.
(The test is easy: if you can suck air thru it, its bad. ;-) I suppose
there is some kind of diaphragm in there which gets a hole it in when it
breaks).
I was able to pull some from a DG tape drive, but clearly I need either
find a good supply of good ones, a supply of equivalents, or learn how to
repair the buggers (seems unlikely).
I have two different (presumably equivalent part numbers) for it:
The original part is:
Fairchild P/N PSF 100A
Another (probably replacement) is:
Micro Pneumatic Logic, P/N MPL 503. (These guys still exist! So I am
sending them an e-mail. But new ones are bound to be pricey).
Thanks in advance for any help.

Sorry, forgot to specify... it's running Digital Unix 4.0b at the moment. I
might move it over to my SGI Indigo2 running IRIX.

An Alphastation running which OS? And VNC doesn't handle
sound, does it? Hmm, maybe it should. And you know about
the built-in VNC web server, right? You don't even need
a client, just a browser.
Emulation ASP not only sounds like fun, but it's probably
a more meaty business model than your average dot-com.

what's even more pathetic is that a commercial is running here advertising
best buy/compusa or something like that that shows two guys playing at a game
console in a store and it's making atari2600 pacman sounds! Its always
interesting that computers in movies and tv constantly make the same beep as
the original IBM PC does and that these same movie computers need a lot of
typing rather than just a slight movement of the wrist and a click of the
mouse button. I guess using a mouse doesnt look as interactive as madly
typing on a keyboard.
