CSC/4 was a 25MHz 68040/16M CSC/3 was a 30MHz 68030/2M? or 4M? -- whatever it was, it could only hold a very small BGP table :-) CSC/2 was a 33MHz 68020 CSC/1 I have no idea IGS was a 16MHz 68020 STS-10x was a 68010...:-) You had to be careful not to flood it's memory with too large a RIP table... The 2000, 3000, 4000 were also 68030 and the 7000 a 68040. And many people still have numerous 25xx's still in service, those are 68030's too... (and the 2511 still makes a really good console server :-)). The real revolution for the AGS+ was the flash cards. After requesting IOS upgrades for half a dozen or more AGS+'s every month under maintenance, Cisco sent us a stack of flash cards for free to stop us requesting IOS updates. That's the "definitely not compact" flash boards... David.
