Couple of AIC-7870P chips, one at each end of the board.  One AIC-7810P
in the middle.  A Digital DECchip 21050 processor.  One AIC type chip,
but it has a paper label with: AHA-3985W  949300-01 B  9701 on it that
covers the chip type.  Two smaller chips, one labelled 929024 rev A
and the other 929025 rev A on them.  Socketed ROM with a paper label:
926002-00 C  BIOS 0B00 copyright 1995.

Nope.  Have been told they are 9.1 gig, or at least 4.3 gig drives.
Have never actually opened it up to look at 'em.  If it ain't broke...

I can believe that.  But, it seems to match what's in the book - and
I'm certainly not the network guru here! .
As long as it continues to function, I am a happy camper...
