This was the box System V Release 4 Unix was ported on. The Amiga Unix
was based on the AT&T SVR4 code -- an old colleague of mine worked on
both at AT&T and Commodore.
My wife owned one as well... it was AT&T's attempt to (pre-NCR) go intot
the commercial computer business against DEC and Sun and the early
office automation/mini/workstation folks.
It had an AT&T designed 32 bit microcomputer. The 3b product line ran
from 3b20 (ex-telephone-switch brains) through the
3b2/310 up through at least a 3b2/1000. They all ran SysVRel 3.2 and
later SVR4 Unix.
TCP was an expensive add-on product.

This weekend, while picking up a large donation of
Commodore equipment
(~2000 pounds, the truck springs bottomed out :-), I also secured a
3B2/310. Alas, I'm not at all up on this type of machine. Google
brought up some information, but I'd appreciate any personal anecdotes
or information.

P.S. In other news, the CBM donation was well worth picking up. A
prototype Commodore 65 was included.
