Comments

My first 680x0 system. Honestly! I never had an 680x0 home computer. The 3/50 has 4MB RAM soldered to the mother board, and no expansion slots. The memory expansion works by pulling a couple of chips (part of the MMU, and some PALs) off the motherboard, plugging a daughterboard into their sockets, and plugging the chips into the daughterboard. Under NetBSD, the machine is rather sluggish, but under SunOS4, it's quite usable.

This machine is now part of Peter Koch's Sun3 zoo.
