I've just found that there are at least two case variants for the 380Z
too; they have exactly the same connectors and panel blanking plates /
cut-outs, but in a totally different arrangement, which seems a strange
thing to do. (One styles does have the stencils for RGBS video signals
on the back, but both types have the blanking plate / hole for the BNC
video signals, so it doesn't seem to be the case that one type was never
intended to have a colour board)
I'm still hoping to find out one day why at least one of RML's adverts
shows a white-cased 380Z; I've never heard of anyone who owns such a
thing.
I think at least one of my manuals mentions Tony's prototyping board in
passing, but I've not seen any details on it though.

We had some external harddrives for the 380Z server we had at the
school I went to. They where in the same case as a 380Z but they where
white (same cream colour as the newer 480Z) and the reset button was
just a power light. Inside was 2 ST225N's with 2 xebec boards. I'm not
sure if this was an original spec though. The drives could of been
upgraded, they where the same as they used in the Nimbus.
