No doubt someone will correct me if I am wrong, but I believe it is
the same as an SS1000 without the ability to use the 2MB L2 cache
versions of some Sparc CPUs.

It is the size of a large PC turned on its side and with about 4 extra
inches added to the height of the resulting box.

The machine is quite heavy, but takes normal 110V AC.  I think it is
about 85 pounds.

They are quite nice, and can be used in up to an 8-way CPU
configuration.  The fastest CPU's are SM81-2's, which are 85Mhz with
2MB e-cache.

Cordially
