I think that might have been the DECserver 550 then. I though it had 
different boot roms. But maybe that is the case, and the CPU board is 
otherwise exactly the same?

There was also some solution which offloaded work of multiple DZV (I 
think it was) which I can't remember the name off, which I wonder if it 
might also be related...
