Yeap. I looked at your pictures and it's definitely an Intel system.
That case looks like the same one that they used for the expansion chassis
and some of their external drive chassis for the MDSs.

I think you're right. I have a BRIEF description of the 310 in one of my
Intel catalogs but since you know what cards are in it you probably already
know more than what the description tells.
I have some manuals for the 330 system which is part of the same series
but I doubt they're be on any real help. I've been looking for manuals for
the 310 myself. Hmm. I've been dealing with one of the Multibus retailers
lately. I should see if he has any 310 manuals. Is ther anything that
you're specificly trying to find out? (other than how to get around the
passwoards!)

I was hoping you'd speak up :)
Anyone know anything about these?
I've never heard of them and I collect Multibus cards and systems. Is it
an Intel system or does it just use Intel boards? Intel started selling the
boards seaparely specificly so that people could build their own systems
with them.
All Intel - seems to be more commonly known as an Intel 310.

Yes, I suspect that's overall model number - or maybe a part number for the
case, assuming it was unique to this system.

Are you sure that that's a board number? It sounds like it might be the
model number and I've never heard of a board with that number. Intel did
build a computer with that model number. I probably have docs for some of the cards but
for now you can look up
the cards (and pictures and brief descriptions) here
<http://www.classiccmp.org/hp/multibus/multibus.html>.
Thanks - I was looking for that URL as I remember you posting it a few
(Incidentally, I can grab pics of my NCR Tower's multibus boards for you
sometime if you want - I think I've got an MSC board here at home, then the
machine is over at Bletchley and has the CPU, HPSIO, Ethernet and HPMSC
boards
in it)
Sure send them along. I like to add information about the systems that
the boards are found in.
Can you send or post a picture of the unit?
see above :)
BTW it most likely has iRMX or iRMX86 installed
on the system and you'll
have to have a paasword to get into it. Speaking from experience :-(
Yep :-( That or Xenix. Not sure how to get around that one - I can get passwords on SCSI disks easy enough but I've got no
way of hooking that
ST506/412 drive to anything more modern in order to modify it :(
I wish I could help but I don't know either. I wonder if anybody has
Linux running on a system with a ST 412 controller and might be able to
hack into the drive and delete/change the password.
The Intel computers (other than the MDSs) that
I have only have a
plastic Intel badge on them and no other markings except the board list on
the bottom of the case.
Yep, sounds like we have the same thing then...
cheers
