I am not trying to be confusing.
Sorry, I missed
the right words. (As you may have noticed, english is
not my native language.) I meant somthing along "Don't _be_ confused".
Or "Don't _get_ confused."
That's legitimately the unit I have. On
the front it says, HP Apollo with a sticker "Model 715t/33." On the back
side it says A1630 425t. It has an Domain keyboard port and an HP-HIL port.
The
enclousure is definitely a 400t / 425t. There has been mentioned a
PA-RISC upgrade. I am not aware of this. But it well may have existed.
So, in the end: Open the box and have a sharp look. Here is a picture of
the 425t / 433t mainboard. Notice the M68040 in the midle-top:

IIRC the 400t uses the same mainboard, but with a large, L-shaped
M68030 mezzanine board in the 68040 socket.
This is a 715 box:

If your box really is a 425t to PA-RISC upgraded machine: Please take
some pictures and get some information up to http://www.openpa.net/
So what do I have here?
A Chimera? ;-)
