I'm using a VXT 2000+ right now and just had it open to check what I
could see, but there are heatsinks over the critical chips and I don't
have any way to re-attach them once removed.
I do have this much, though. From the boot prompt '>>>' SHOW DEV
only mentions the ESA0 device and my MAC address. SHOW VER gives
me that it's "SYSTEM 08 ROM 01 REV 05" and a line about the video
"VIDEO_OPT_VER MAJOR 0C01 MINOR 0C09" ...
SHOW CONFIG shows information approximating this:
1 NVR OK
2 SPX OK
Lowres - 8plane 4Mpixel FB
3 QDZ OK
4 CACHE OK
5 MEM OK
18==SY=4, S0=4MB, S1=4MB, S2=4MB
6 FPU OK
7 IT OK
8 SYS OK
NOT TESTED
9 VNI
10 PRL
The numbers on the heat sinks (if this is at all useful) are:
(at E37) 21-28059-01 and S675-42 9332 below that.
(at E67) 21-32064-08 and S33869-3710 9333 below that.
Hope this is useful somehow. :^)
