Microdata

More info... I had written... To which Jim replied... I had never heard of the M2000 either. Someone had told me that's what it was, and I haven't dug into the system yet - it's just been sitting as I got it so far. It may be a 1600 cpu but the two 1600 systems that I used to have - the front panels (kind of green/brown with a WOODEN underlay) were attached right to the back of the card cage (and they actually said M1600 on them). On this machine the front panel is set far apart from the card cage via a ribbon cable. That is just the same way the Royale did it. Perhaps it's a Royale. BUT... every Royale I ever saw the front panel had this kind of grey/green color (and said Royale on the panel), and this panel looks white/brown (no Royale wording). So, I decided to open the cabinet and look around a bit. The placard says its a model R4510-00, serial number L5377. The customer build sheet says "Royale". This tells me there was apparently more than one paint/color or look for the Royales. Oh, and when I said.... I was referring only to the Spirit :) Even then, I looked at it as a icky downgrade because it had no front panel and ran one of those kiddy 'microprocessors' ;) Jay
