   Looks like a 4/280, assuming it hasn't had its CPU board switched 
(3/200 and 4/200 CPUs use the same memory).  I don't see any evidence 
of a DC power supply, and I'm pretty sure that chassis was never made 
with one.  Further, the model number of the power controller (Paluzzi 
874C, coincidentally "874" is the model number of a DEC power 
controller of similar capabilities) is that of an AC-powered unit.
