The 120 also used a 34010 to handle the graphics, I think? It has been
a long time...

If I recall correctly the Xstation 120 (the first of them) used an 8086 (might have been
an 80186). The big issue was that you couldn?t do anything with it because what was in
ROM/FLASH was only smart enough to be able to TFTP the rest of the microcode (not terribly
useful if you don?t have the image it wants to TFTP).
I think the 140 fixed that (and is somewhat telling from all of the Intel flash parts on
the board). But I don?t know what CPU it?s using. The IBM metal can is probably the
graphics controller.
