The 16B released around 1984 is essentially a factory
upgraded Model 12 with the card cage and the 6Mhz MC68000 subsystem consisting of a CPU
card and 1 or more 16 bit memory cards. The 16B for a time was the best selling Unix
workstation in the world.
So, the 16B has the KB conn on the machine, but the KB?
And, the 16B has the Z80 motherboard, witht eh 68K in the cage?
The 6000 released in 1985 was a slightly enhanced 16B with the biggest difference being
the upgrade to an 8Mhz MC68000. This system allowed you to run XENIX 3.x and address up
to 1MB of RAM.
I thought the 16B could also do 1MB of RAM?
Can the 6000 still run the Z80 Oses (like TRSDOS II and such)? (I
assume so, since you noted that all units of this entire line used a Z80
for IO)
