Donno. My units have 3 large chips on top. Among them, two are slik screened
with star shape logo of "PERFORMANCE" letters and "PACE MIPS"
designations. I can see clearly "PR3000A-25MQ160C" and
"PR3010A-25MQ160C". The last one is ASIC ordered by DEC. This is
25MHz module. Black rectangler chip lettered "50.0000M" on back is OSC.
20MHz module should have "40.0000M" OSC.
33MHz module has a single combined chip (CPU+FPA) equipped with large
cylindrical heat sink. I was told that it's NEC Vr3400 (3600?) processor.
