We had 3081's at a time share back in the mid 80's. At one point we took 2 3081G's and had IBM put them together to form a 3084 Q64 w/PIF.

Base and X models with almost unrememberable model letters. Interestingly, later on you could get a 1+1 2-way and a 2+1 3-way. The benefits of these were larger caches (as you got 2 of them).
