Have to get back to you on that. Presumably a CRT controller, Ram board,
disk controller, and some i/o. It has a CRU port, 5TI port, PC(serial) and
printer ports on the back of the case. The display and a 360K full-height
5-1/4" floppy are built in to the case, the keyboard in the lid. The whole
thing is close to 50 lbs.

There's another model of the VPU200, the -3104, that has a 192tpi 3meg
5-1/4" floppy. That might be an interesting controller board and drive to
find. There seem to have been some reliability issues with them, though.

The Visioneer PaperPort scanner proprietary format. There's no linux port
of the software or the viewer, but the free windows viewer is on the
ftp.whtech.com site. Dunno about Mac.
