If it's a 160, and there is about 1/4 of the board having a
regular array of chips, then this board has 4 meg of memory on it.
Peter> The one with nothing but chips is a memory card.
Reasonable. These have either 4 or 8 meg of memory. A full
board of 256 k chips is 8 meg. I have not looked at a 4 meg board
recently.

May be only a tape driver. There was a 'special' type of tape
interface at the time this machine was built.

This may be SCSI. Is it in slot 6 (or is that 7)? Open up
the front. One of the VME connecters pokes through the backplane.
There may be a cable connected to this. That would be a SCSI cable.
The Sun SCSI for these machines has no external connector.
Dave.
