Much thanks.

off-list but no success, maybe I ended up in your junk mail pile. I

Take a look at the tu81 manual on bitsavers ek_tu81-tm_002_nov85.pdf
The appendix describes the m8739 unibus klesi. It's tmscp but it applies to

Varian bought the design of the 620. I forget the name of the original
firm, but I have a brochure on it.
Weird things happen. CDC rebadged small VAX machines and Nova 3s, for
example, even with their minicomputer line intact.

extremely strange that one would take a DEC mini, and put a Varian badge
