Hello all,

I'm also new to the list. :-)

Yes, RC3260 is a valid model number.
No, it cannot run WindowsNT on it. only RISC/os. (NetBSD in the future? :-)

For the record, following model numbers should be valid:

Naming conventions:
M/xxx      : Old Mips systems. xxx stands for its MIPS rate.
             eg. M/500 -> 5MIPS, M/120 -> 12MIPS.
Rx[2346]xxx: CPU type
RSxxxx     : Desktop workstation (w/ graphics display)
RCxxxx     : Server system (w/o graphics)
Rxxx30     : Desktop system
Rxxx40     : Deskside system
Rxxx60     : Low height server (Low-boy)
Rxxx70     : ?
Rxxx80     : Rack-mount type server (High-boy)

RISC/os (UMIPS) only systems:
M/500   : R2000  5MHz / VME bus / ESDI disk   (Server system)
M/800   : R2000  8MHz / VME bus / ESDI disk   (Server system)
M/1000  : R2000 10MHz / VME bus / ESDI disk   (Server system)
M/120-3 : R2000 12MHz / Original bus + PC-AT bus / SCSI disk (Deskside system)
M/120-5 : R2000 16MHz / Original bus + PC-AT bus / SCSI disk (Deskside system)
M/2000  : R3000 20MHz / VME bus / SMD disk  (Server system)
RS2030  : R2000 16MHz / Original bus / SCSI disk (Also known as M/12)
RC2030  : R2000 16MHz / Original bus / SCSI disk
RC3240  : R3000 20MHz / Original bus + PC-AT bus / SCSI disk
           (M/120 with CPU-board upgrade)
RS3230  : R3000 25MHz / Original bus (+AT bus) / SCSI disk (Also known as M/20)
RC3230  : R3000 25MHz / Original bus (+AT bus) / SCSI disk
RS3330  : R3000 33MHz / Original bus (+AT bus) / SCSI disk
RC3330  : R3000 33MHz / Original bus (+AT bus) / SCSI disk
RC3260  : R3000 25MHz / VME bus / SCSI disk
RC3360  : R3000 33MHz / VME bus / SCSI disk
RC6260  : R6000 66MHz / RAMBUS + VME bus / SCSI disk
RC6280  : R6000 66MHz / RAMBUS + VME bus / SMD disk
RC6380-100: R6000 66MHz x 1 / RAMBUS + VME bus / SMD disk
RC6380-200: R6000 66MHz x 2 / RAMBUS + VME bus / SMD disk
RC6380-400: R6000 66MHz x 4 / RAMBUS + VME bus / SMD disk

ARCH (RISC/os and Windows NT) systems:
RS4330  : R4000PC 50MHz / ??   bus / SCSI disk
RS4340  : R4000PC 50MHz / EISA bus / SCSI disk
RS4440  : R4000SC 50MHz / EISA bus / SCSI disk
RC4370  : R4000PC ??MHz / ??   bus / SCSI disk
RC4470  : R4000SC ??MHz / ??   bus / SCSI disk

IIRC, there were R[SC]3030 systems and RB3125 (cpu board for RC3360?) also.
