What is the 3B1 based on, then?
68010 with a custom paged MMU. In a slightly different configuration,
the 3b1 was also known as the 7300.
It was also known as the Unix PC". AFIK the only difference between
the 7300 and 3B1 was the larger capacity hard drive. The larger drive was a
full height model so the top case cover was replaced with one that had a
hump in it. Many of the 7300s were modified after they were delivered
therefore many are still labeled as 7300s even though they have been
modifed to 3B1s.
There was some debate over whether the 3b1s also had a little
bit heaftier power supply to handle the full height drives.
There never seemed to be a really definitive answer, but
it seemed to me that it was the same capacity, but had a
different connection to the drive.
