Some were '380's... I was told they used whatever was in stock (first
the leftover 350's, (since who wanted a 350 when the 380 was
available)...

Then they used the 380's.

I wish I had one here on my 350.
Be glad you found the 380. I'd kill for one and kill again for the J11
instead of the F11 chip...

Doesn't matter. You should see some of the "computer rooms" these days.

      Three things never anger: First, the one who runs your DEC,
      The one who does Field Service and the one who signs your check.
