- Doug,
-
- You've already seen the write up on the DEC 3000 Model 400 desktop system.
- The deskside version of the product (code named Flamingo) is the DEC 3000 Model
- 500. If you look into your imagination (not too far back) and picture a sort of
- wider BA23 enclosure, you'll find:
-
- o A 150MHz cpu
- o Memory expansion up to 1GB (using 16Mbit DRAMs)
- o Up to 6 half height SCSI devices internal (including two removable
- media devices) running on a separate SCSI bus from the external port
- o An integral HX frame buffer (does NOT consume a TURBOchannel slot)
- o Six configurable TURBOchannel option slots
- o Your choice of 10bT or AUI for ethernet
- o ISDN
- o An RS423 printer/comm port (MMJ)
- o Keyboard mouse cable
- o An RS232 (25pin Dsub) synch/asynch comm port (this can be console)
- o An external SCSI port (this is a completely separate SCSI bus from
- the internal controller)
-
-
- I don't think I've left out any of the configuration stuff. The TURBOchannel
- options that are configurable are slots 0-5. Slot 6 is baseboard I/O and slot
- 8 is the integral HX.
-
- I hope that helps answer some of your configuration questions.
-
- Thanx,
- AJ
