The following time line I snatched from the Web would seem to collaborate this. I believe that the one Masscomp that I arranged to be donated to the Rhode Island Museum was a 5400. I believe that I still have documentation for that system. I was planning to spend some time this weekend sorting through my Masscomp stuff. If I find anything pertinent, I will let you know.
