This was the box System V Release 4 Unix was ported on.  The Amiga Unix 
was based on the AT&T SVR4 code -- an old colleague of mine worked on 
both at AT&T and Commodore.

My wife owned one as well... it was AT&T's attempt to (pre-NCR) go intot 
the commercial computer business against DEC and Sun and the early 
office automation/mini/workstation folks.

It had an AT&T designed 32 bit microcomputer.  The 3b product line ran 
from 3b20 (ex-telephone-switch brains) through the
3b2/310 up through at least a 3b2/1000.  They all ran  SysVRel 3.2 and 
later SVR4 Unix.

TCP was an expensive add-on product.
