cisco IGS (68020) processor (revision A) with 4092K/512K bytes of memory.

So this is a "Pancake", square box that opens so the bottom comes out
with a plastic latch. 


Yes - it looks like a slightly flattened VAX 2000 with three LEDs on the front.


A 25xx is a 1U rack mount thing.


With a noisy fan too? I had some of these at work but I forget the more recent
stuff more quickly than I forget the older stuff :-)

cisco AS2511-RJ (68030) processor (revision K) with 14336K/2048K bytes
of memory.

This very old SW runs DECnet in GRE tunnels... -:) (But it will not
fit in the 3000 with 4M memory. My mamemory fails me if it ws possible
to put 4M modules in the IGS/3000, I think the answer is no.)


My IGS has even older software - 10.0(6) but it seems happy to accept
decnet configuration commands. It also allows me to configure a tunnel
interface so hopefully it will do the job. It seems to be running ok after
I reseated the SIMMs but I want to leave it on test for a while to make sure.

I can't find any reference to the processor speed anywhere.

It;s not show anywhere except in data sheets .. -:)


I eventually found it written on the 68020 :-)
