KA410-A will be displayed with the switch in multi-user MicroVAX 2000 mode, KA410-B if set to single user VAXstation 2000. V1.2 is the ROM rev level (for 4- or 8-plane colour graphics board, V2.1 is required). In the count-down a “_” means the item wasn't found. text/html 2010-01-19T16:47:08+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://tips.brimbelle.org/doku.php?id=tips:vax:memory_parts&rev=1263916028&do=diff Memory Option Chart System capabilities System Memory on CPU No. of Memory Slots Options MicroVAX I, 4 MB 4 2 MB MicroPDP 11/73 MicroVAX I, 4 MB 4 4 MB MicroPDP 11/73 MicroVAX II (!) 1 MB 2 4 MB MicroVAX II (!) 1 MB 2 8 MB MicroVAX 3100 (@) 4 MB 1 4 MB Models 10/10e/20/ 20e Micr… text/html 2010-01-20T10:19:31+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://tips.brimbelle.org/doku.php?id=tips:vax:microvax3100&rev=1263979171&do=diff MicroVAX 3100 M20e Hardware summary Nickname: Teammate II Cpu: KA41-D, CVAX+ (60ns), 1KB on chip cache Vup: 3.5 Tps: 22 (Maybe 30?)
