Introduction
Workstations
Model 330
and
350 workstations provide state-of-the-art performance for
the
most
demanding
applications
with
a
true
32-bit
processor-
the
MC68020
operating
at
a full
25
MHz (Model
350)
or
16
MHz (Model 330). A companion MC68881 floating point co-processor
augments
system performance,
supporting
both
single
and
double-precision floating-point
arithmetic
and
transcendental
math
functions. Complementing
this
hardware
are
the
three
popular
Series 300
operating
systems, HP-UX, BASIC,
and
Pascal.
Both
workstations
are
well-suited for
the
advanced design requirements of design engineers
in electrical, mechanical,
and
software engineering, including such computation-intensive
tasks
as logic simulation
and
printed-circuit
board
routing. Many research applications previously
requiring
the
power
of
a mainframe
computer
now
can
be
executed locally on
these
powerful
workstations.
The
Model 350
is
very suitable for high-end
test
and
measurement
applications,
and
supports
a variety of office
automation
software.
Foundations of these workstations
are
the
computers,
or
system processing
units
(SPU). Each
uses a single Design
Plus
box
that
holds
the
four system
boards
that
support
all
the
functions
required for most system configurations.
System
Configurations
Several workstation systems
are
available
with
monitors, software
and
a variety of peripherals.

of
hardware
and
software
are

Model 330
and
350
computer
bundled
systems include:
•
Standard
color
and
monochrome systems.
• Color systems
with
2
1
i2D
accelerator.
• Graphics systems for 3D images
and
solid shaded models.
• Color
and
monochrome artificial intelligence development systems.
Typical system diagrams
are
shown in Figures
