It's a pretty vanilla 380. I think it has just the 256K. No EBO, no option
cards. RD52-A and RX50-AA.

Note that I can't exclude that it has a 380-specific Venix installed; it came
to me with it and I don't have floppies (part of why I'd like to convert it).
But I don't recall Venix coming in a 380-specific version.
