Well, the MD-3 board was different - in fact there were two versions and
manufacturers of that - and the MD-5/10/nn was yet different again. But
any or all would fit in the same case. The late MD-2 had a detachable
power cord, as did the MD-3. So did the MD-5/10/nn, but they also had a
different - higher wattage - power supply to handle the HD.

I just found out that this is a model 1 (or so the circuit board says).
From what little I found on the net, these are scarcer than the 2 and 3s.
I'm not sure that is so, Joe, as the circuit board that I looked at says
the same thing and I know it came from an MD-2. If there was a Model 1
machine the difference must have been in the power supply having the
fixed vice removable power cord or something like that.
similar from the period to find out exactly what model
it is. It definitely
dates from 1982. That's the copyright on the board and all the ICs that I
checked had that date. However I thought that was a bit late for the SA200
drives.
