Having what appears to be some sort of

by NEC, model 3401, class 5451, as well as another box labeled "class
H6830-STD1-01-46," and not being able to obtain any information or
documentation about this equipment, I'm not quite sure what do with
them other than take them apart for parts. On the 3401, there are
three ports labeled "LS Link," four labeled "HS Link," two labeled
"System Bus" (channel A and channel B) and a diagnostics port.
Even though I'm a little unhappy with NEC lately, in the past I have
called them up for help in identifying equipment they made, and they were
always able to help. You might have to find out what division of NEC made
the units to know who to contact at NEC though.
If anyone has a need for these boxes, or can provide
me with any
information about using them, then I'll consider not taking them
apart, as tempting as that option is, considering that: they're taking
up a fair amount of space, and have some useful ICs, wire, fans, PSUs,
LEDs, memory, etc. inside, and the one case could be modified to hold
several 5-1/4" hard drives and the PSU. I'd really like to find a way
to use this equipment in it's present assembled form, however. :-)
Could you give a few more details on what type of chips you saw in them?
CPU? memory?
