Mine has a sticker on the back but the model number

meaningless. I decided that it's a MC5600 based on the number of CPUs and
number of card slots and the physical description of the machine. FWIW this
one is a rack mount version and there's almost no mention of it in the
manuals except in the installation manual.
Right, I had about 5 minutes to look at our Masscomp earlier...
hopefully will have more time tomorrow.
It's got a Micropolis 8" hard disk in the base, which is something (not
much use without given we have no install media for it!). Also a QIC
tape drive and a floppy drive at the front.
Cards labelled on the edges as follows:
FPP
MEM2
APU
MEM
MPU
GPX
GPM
DSD
No Ethernet board unfortunately. FPP is presumably a floating point
board? No idea about APU. DSD I'm guessing does the floppy/tape/hard
drive?
I haven't tried/bothered pulling boards yet.
I still need to find the keyboard / mouse for it before I can justify
spending any time trying to get it running, of course (anyone have an
image of what the keyboard and mouse look like so I know what to look
for?)
cheers
