We just got one of our Zilog Z8000 model 31+'s 'upgraded' to the Zilog
S8000/32 model 32. The upgrade consisted of removing the Z8000 based CPU,
and all the associated hardware (memory boards, serial boards, disk/tape
controller boards, CPU power supply, etc.....Well, the only origional
equipment left was the disk drives, tape drives, and the cabinet, which is
of the 19-inch rack type), and replacing them with what appeares to be
an AT&T 3B2, model unknown (When we got ours, they haden't even had time
to rebound the manuals, and they still bore the AT&T 3B2 titles... I also
checked to CPU board after the technician left.....). How can I tell what
model 3B2 I've got? It supports 26 users (2 ports on the CPU cabinet, 24
on external panels), but that's about all I know so far. What can I look
for? Board part numbers? Special chips? ROM Monitor commands?
Some 'upgrade', huh?
