If you look how easily you can pull out the board then
it actually makes
sense. Just provide a box with DIO-II/I slots and basically you can build
anything from 310 to 380 inside. If the main board looks like this:
Then you have a 380. The machine in those crummy
pictures has a DIO-I
expansion cab.
So does mine, if that's the card with the ugly card-edge connector into which
the additional LANCE board is plugged.

There might be a way. Start out by removing the
framebuffer and then
try some serial magic.
Ah, so it's the same route as with the DECstation. Great.

The machine can do Fast HP-IB or SCSI from the
mainboard. The SCSI connector
goes directly to the main board via a flat cable but the FS-HPIB has some
electronics just behind the connector. I'd guess you have the SCSI-version.
It's plugged straight in. Good for me.
Now, should I just run NetBSD or is HPUX any more sufferable on the 380 than
on the 832?
