If so, it's very different from the XP900, witch is
more-or-less the same box as an DS10, if I'm not wrong.
Well, just Googled up a few XP1000 images and it *is* a
larger PWS-like box. Doesn't by me anything extra from the
XP900 then. Still just two drive bays. And all pages talkes
about True64 or WinNT, but I'd guess VMS runs on them also...
