From a Digital blurb I've received (after you wade through the marketing
hype) the DEC 3000 model 400 AXP Workstation has the following features :

 - SPECmark89			104+
 - DhrystoneMIPS		134
 - LINPACK 100x100 DP MFLOPS	 26
 - Clock speed			133 Mhz
 - On-chip cache		8K data; 8K instructions
 - On-board cache		512K; write-back
 - I/O				TURBOchannel (90 MB/s); 3 slots
				2 SCSI-2 controllers
				Enthernet
				ISDN **
				Sync/Async with modem control
				DEC 423 printer port
				Voice-Quality Audio
 - I/O optional			FDDI
				Prestoserve **
- Memory			128 MB (512 MB)**

** Available with upcoming release of OS


The blurb for the 3400S (server) is the same.
The 3500 has 6 TURBOchannel slots and 118+ SPEC's
The 3500Sis the same as the 3500


I believe that all the AXP will come with 10MB/s SCSI-2 adapters,
even the 7000 and 10000.
