Not really, here's the stuff i could scrap together on the UNIX-PC.
Hope it helps ||- \_o
              ||- /
WARNING: UNIX-PC is no-longer manufactured, AT&T no longer supports
	the software unless something is _REALLY_ broken. And even then
	they are slow to answer. 
ON-THE-OTHER-HAND: GNU stuff has been ported to this machine and lost of
	other free is available via THE STORE and an extremely dedicated
	core of users.

	UNIX-PC a.k.a 7300 a.k.a 3B1:

	Processor: 68010 @ 10Mhz
		32 bit processor with 16 bit data bus

	RAM Memory: (internal) 512K - 2Mb RAM
		    7300 1/2 to 1 Mb
		    3B1  1 to 2 Mb
	 	    up to 2 Mb on expansion bus	
	--
		4 Mb RAM maximum (~120 nsec i think?)
		custom MMU uses most upper most address lines used 
		for other memory: video, ROM etc

	Disk Memory: 10 - 67 Mb Hard Disk 
		   7300 10 or 20 Mb 1/2 height Hard Drive
		   3B1 40 or 67 Mb full height Hard Drive
	--
		67 Mb maximum(without working for it)
		WD1010 formatter/controller chip limited to 1024 cylinders
			WD1010 can be replaced with WD2010 
		on-board PALS limited to 8 heads
			custom made PALS available form neters

	Misc:
		up to 7 serial ports. 1 integeral 2 per expansion bus card
		1 parallel port integeral
		1 internal 300/1200 baud modem
		2 modular telephone line jacks for incomming lines
		1 modular telephone jack for handset

	Plus lots of other goodies: mouse, bit-map display(720X348), cheap
	what's left of them are going for ~$800 to < $2000
