:?) Indeed. Runs Windows NT 3.51 SP5 really well for its age, too.
But AFAIK, it's contemporaneous with the other Model 80s, as part of
the original range.
IIRC:
30 - slimline desktop 8086 (ISA, MCGA)
50 - desktop 286
60 - tower 286
70 - desktop 386
80 - desktop 386

Wow!
A SCSI *printer*?! What on Earth is that?
Cheers for that!
M95, eh? That's quite a modern one, isn't it - a 486 or even a Pentium?
It's an AMD K6-2, believe it or not. I have another mod 95 as a print
server. I chose it because it has two parallel ports on the
motherboard. I could probably switch to something that uses less juice,
but it's been so freakin' rock-solid that I don't feel I should screw
with it. It's running four printers. Two parallel, one serial and one
SCSI. I am
considering trying to put my old Model 80-A21 - once the LAN
server on my home net - on the Web as a webserver. I like the idea of
a webserver that is significantly older than the Web itself. :-)
I'd consider an 8580-Axx newish. It has *gasp* CACHE! I have a video editing workstation built out of an
8550. A whole 10MHz!!!

I've collected microchannel hardware for a number
of years.
I don't have the space, but it was the state of the art when I started
my first job & I still have great affection for it. The only things
I've seen which rival it for build quality are the PowerMac G5s and
later.
