Hmmm...I have a 98754A monitor that plugs into a faster version of the
Catseye (Fastcat, methinks...) - but also works with the Catseye (the
98550A board). But I've not seen the 98752A monitor before...Is it 17''
or 19''?

Yeah - they all look pretty much the same...'Cept for the big `fish-bowl'
monitors that plug into SGC display cards...

All of them, except the 345 I think, just say `300'. It's amazing how
little the basic design of that machine changed over the N number of
years it was produced. We just recently put a 380 motherboard into a 310
backplane - and used several of the 310's I/O devices (including an hpib
and extra ethernet)...Worked like a champ...
What kind of CPU does it have? '020, '030, or '040? I've seen the
following models in a `dual case'...a 310 (too slow '010), a 320 (16MHz
'020), a 370 (33MHz '030), 375 (50MHz '030), and a 380 (25MHz '040).
'Course, I also have a 380 in the single case, so...
