This may be a naive question, but I need an answer quick...


How can I tell the difference (without loading an o/s) between a VaxStation II
and a VaxStation 3200?  I have two machines in BA23 enclosures, one marked on
the "power panel" as a VaxStation II (I believe this is correct), and the other
says it is a VaxStation 3200.  I'd like to move my VaxStation II to the 3200
(if that's what it is) by moving the disks into that chassis.  When powered on,
both systems indicate level KA630-1.2A during self test.  Does this mean
that the
box marked as a 3200 is really a II?

Thanks in advance.
