Looks like it. I haven't found anything yet on the 703 high-speed
version, but it's probably similar to the 707/1200 version. The one
shown here has a copyright date of 1986, so getting late in the game
there.  That is PN 2545996-0001 and also has an external serial port
not found on earlier 707s, I think.

I will try to ask somebody who worked at the Temple plant about it,
though.
