FWIW the UnixPC 7300 which was belatedly adopted into the
3B family, and renamed "3B1" by the marketing guys, despite
having nothing in common with the other 3B machines, was
actually a close cousin of the CT Miniframe. (I'm not sure
if Convergent actually manufacured the 7300, but it was
certainly their design)

The 7300 and 3B1 are not exactly alike... doesn't anyone here read the
FAQs and other info. from the old 3B1/7300 archive (not sure if it
still exists) before posting info. about these machines? Granted,
they're basically the same machine, but there are a couple of minor
differences, including the design of the case, etc.

That info. has been known by 3B1/7300 users for many years, and
looking in the the FAQ, etc. will reveal the answer. :-)

Nice idea. Too bad, like most nice ideas in marketing, it didn't really
work.

CT did, in fact, OEM the UnixPC (TM). The CT Mitiframe and Miniframe were
binary compatible withe the UnixPC (TM) (for certain values of binary and
compatible).

AAMOF, the 3b1 FAQ was posted to comp.sys.3b1 last nite (8/25/02), as any
truly dedicated reader would know :~).

Perhaps the solution is to eliminate marketing, along with accounting,
as both are basically non-productive entities which only contribute to
