Sridhar,
The h-e-a-v-y one (all metal case) was the 3179. The 3279 has a plastic
case and used to feel like it would fall apart when I would dope-slap it
whenever the lighting bolts appeared in the status area at the bottom of
the screen. A 3178 would take the slap with a thud that made your hand hurt.

The 3279 (for which I'm looking for a few clean examples, if I can
find them...) is so heavy that if one falls out of the back of a

which mention desk strength requirements. The 3279 is a good bit
heavier than the 3278.
Peace... Sridhar is it color or green COUGH. If that's the
model I'm
thinking of, it has a fair amount of peecee mobo stuff
inside.
By the part number, it's a color terminal, and it's nothing like the
later, smaller coax terminals... bigger, heavier, and probably built
before the 8086 was released.
