__TOC__
===Physical description (observed)===
Picture for a moment a 19 1/2" monitor (viewable diagonal) sitting on a pivot stand that if you are observant you will notice is slightly thicker than usual, with a keyboard and mouse sitting in front of it. Beautiful isn't it?

If you wander around to the back you will notice a power cable going to the monitor and a cable going from the monitor to the swivel base. The power supply is in the monitor and in the swivel base is the computer. On the back of the base there is the afore mentioned video and power connection; keyboard, mouse, and auxilary ports; and a removible network card. My network card has a RJ-45 connector (10-base-T ethernet), an AUI connector (DB15 with the funky slide latch), and link and polarity LEDs.

===Major chips===
The processor is a [[LR33000MC-33]].

There is a NCD PN 4400006 which apears to be a bridge or multifinction chip.

The main chip on the network card apears to be an AMD 4100004.

===Bootstrap===
Your usual for Xterminals [[bootp]], [[tftp]] load of kernal image. havn't yet found a image with a valid checksum to test boot with. There are two eproms on the NIC that are in the first of three 16 bit banks. Decompiling is started, but this is my first mips project.

===Other Isues===
Wont't talk to my ethernet switch. add a hub, and it works fine. go fig.

===Port status===
Summary: Slim to none. If you want to help email me at
b h i l d r e d (at) p e a k p e a k . c o m.
