[CCTECH] DEC 3000/600?

Hello, I made a haul of various computer stuff yesterday, most of which is too new to qualify for the 10 year rule, but not sure if this one is or not. It is a Digital Equipment 3000, Model 600. It is a desktop-style case with horizontal orientation. It's HEAVY. Anyone know anything about this machine? It powers up OK, and goes through a sequence of flashing different codes (POST?) on 8 LED's on the back panel. I haven't hooked up a console to it (it uses a funky RJ-style connector for the console port). It has a CD-ROM drive in the of the cabinet. There is an old-style Centronics SCSI connector on the back, as well as old AUI-style 10Base2 connector for Ethernet. It also appears to have a built-in ISDN interface. There's three slots for option cards, and one haswhat appears to be some kind of color framebuffer card with a 3-pin (RGB?) D-style connector. Can anyone tell me more about this machine? What processor does it use? Is it VAX-like? Operating systems? VMS/Ultrix?

I haven't opened the machine up to see what's inside as yet, didn't have much time this afternoon to dig into it deeper. Any help appreciated.
