If the case says VAXanything or MicroVAX it's VAX.
If it's an Alpha
it would say Alphamumble. Systems with the DECmumble are MIPS.
Systems with 'DECstation mumble' should be MIPS, but if it
says 'DEC nnnn' then it may well be an Alpha... for example, I
have a DEC 3000/400 in my office.. this is an Alpha.

And of course DECsystems might be 36 bit (DECsystem-10 for example), 32 bit
(DECsystem 5500) or something else (wasn't there a DECsystem based on
either an -8
or -11? for word processing). I also seem to recall that there were Intel
based DECstations too....

Are you thinking of the DecMates? I believe these are -8 based.
(actually a 6120(?) CPU, which is a uP version of a -8)
Speaking of such... does anyone have any manuals for a DecMate 2 that
they would like to get rid of? I have it running with the disk images
from Sunsite, but have no clue how to use it. (I did
get the games disks
going, including Adventure :-)

Doh. See my previous post to Allison. I have illusions of somehow one day
cramming a Decmate into my already bulging quarters and I don't have a scanner
yet, but maybe we can work things out.
