It may have the capabilities of something like an M38, but it most
certainly is not a rebadged one... this thing is a mere 1.5" x 6" x 9"
(or so), with a 10B2, SCSI and Modified RJ jack on the back (as
well as a connector for the external power supply).
When I power it on (it doesn't even have a power switch... it powers
on when plugged in), it identifies itself as
Inforserver 1000 V1.3-2A7-V3.7 31-MAR-1993 13:52:20.00

Yes, I know the 10b2 port is unconnected...
When I type help, it looks a lot like a VS3100/Mxx, but it doesn't
have the 'T 50' test... All other commands seem to work. I don't
have anything attached, so SHOW DEV reports simply ESA0.
I'd love to play around with it and see what I could get booted...
it would be neat to have this tiny pile of hardware be up and
running on my net someday...
