It has AT&T's WE32000 series chip in it. I just heard today of a public domain Modula-2 compiler for the AT&T 3B2/400 developed at Oxford U. in Great Britain. I will be getting more details in the near future, and will post them to this news group at that time. If anyone else knows about its availability, I am sure there are a number of people on the net who would like to hear about it, so please post the information. By the way, it shouldn't have any problems running on the 3B2/300 since the 300 and 400 are binary compatible. ______________________________________ Harvard Townsend, Systems Manager Kansas State University, Dept. of Computer Science Manhattan, KS 66506 (913)532-6350 CSNET: harv@kansas-state -or- harv%kansas-state@relay.cs.net BITNET: harv@ksuvax1.bitnet -or- harv%ksuvax1.bitnet@WISCVM.WISC.EDU UUCP: ihnp4!wnuxa!ksuvax1!harv
