| Hmm, the machine I have on my desk at work has a "Ultra Enterprise 1" badge
| on the front, but fits your description of a plain Ultra 1. It's a fairly
| early model too - 143Mhz and shipped with a cgsix (I think it's a tgx).

Sigh. Let's try to kill this discussion.
There were basically two models of U1 produced. The Neutron had 3 SBus slots
ahd used Macio which had an esp200 and le, and the Electron had 3 SBus and one
UPA slot and used FEPS which has HME and FAS. The Neutron came with 143 and
176MHz CPUs, while the Electon had a choice of 143, 176, and 200MHz processors.
They also came in 3 different packages. The standard desktop Neutron had
`Ultra 1' on the label. The Electron had `Ultra1 Creator' or `Ultra1 Creator 3D'.
The machines were also packaged as servers. These did not come with a standard
video card and were labeled `Enterprise' machines to match the larger servers.
There were also machines that were packaged with specially tuned versions of
Solaris as NFS and web servers and were labeled `Netra's.
I beleive some firmware versions on the Electron labeled it as an `Ultra-1E'.
But the only way you can really tell them apart is to look at the firmware
tree and check for HME and FAS vs. ESP and LE.
