Since I wasn't the primary tester/installer, I don't have that much in
the way of detail, but there was a small disk inside the box.  This is
probably not the same model as the one that will be sold as 'diskless'.
But then again, since the disk was probably 3-1/2 or 5-1/4 inch, it
probably isn't big enough to support UNIX and users/applications.  Most
likely, it was intended to eliminate swapping over the network.  I'll
have to go look in the manuals to see how big it was.
