We were doing Linux at Linuxcare (who'd'a thunk), and I think that might be 
what we had: a de facto P70, even though it wasn't "legal". This wasn't 
cheating: it was with IBM's blessing (I think they had to give us a microcode 
fiddle to enable it).

I remember having 3480s as well, and noting that the tape drives were bigger 
than the CPU, which just felt wrong.
