Adam: Looks like it, doesn't it. In fact, the AS 3000 was a stripped down MP 2000! Think of taking the front half of a MP 2000 (processor cage in the top, disk cage in the bottom) and putting the processor cage in the back. Change the front cover and you have an AS 3000. The system was designed as a development system for OS/390 but was too limited in outboard I/O connectivity. http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/Shelves/ID3T0002 Regards, Jim
