- From memory:
-
- Three TurboChannel slots total (but the HX takes one slot) and a SCSI connector
- on the back (up to 7 devices total on one bus). Two 3.5 inch disks and one half
- height 5.25 inch (RRD42, TLZ06, TKZ10) internally. Of course, there's
- Ethernet out the back (FDDI available via TC card). One async/sync port (only
- sync for OSF/1 upto 19.2Kb) and another asynch port too.
