 This system got no more than a few hundred KB's of RAM. System configuration is stored on a EEPROM (I mean... is it? Couldn't confirm). The CPU is a m68k chip (yeah, same as Macintosh computers and several embedded devices of the era). This unity got the TMP68301AF-12 variant of that chip, manufactured by Toshiba.  This system got no more than a few hundred KB's of RAM. System configuration is stored on a EEPROM (I mean... is it?

-The ROM complex is detachable, for reasons I deem unclear, since those chips are already seated on sockets. See below for more information on that detachable board. +The ROM complex is detachable, for reasons I deem not completely clear, since those chips are already seated on sockets.

 The 27C040Q-120 ROM is a 4Mbit (512Kx8) UV-EEPROM chip, we have one for the main software (P401A) and other for whatever it is (P402A), we may want to buy another EEPROM to keep that one as backup, and a larger one at it, since I think newer versions uses more than 512 KB of space;  The 27C040Q-120 ROM is a 4Mbit (512Kx8) UV-EEPROM chip, we have one for the main software (P401A) and other for whatever it is (P402A), we may want to buy another EEPROM to keep that one as backup, and a larger one at it, since I think newer versions uses more than 512 KB of space; 
  
-###Firmware: it's nearly damn impossible to find firmwares for that thing, I was able to track some of them, but can't even say if they're adequate for my unit. +###Firmware

 This makes the system kind of an hybrid between -1 and -2, hardware-wise. The CPU smells like 12 MHz, judging by it's model suffix (the datasheet for it mentions 8~16 MHz sub-models), but the amount of RAM is very far behind even other models of -1 (cf. «ROM mysteries» above.)  This makes the system kind of an hybrid between -1 and -2, hardware-wise.

 +Anyhow, [like I've posted on Sundance Communications](https://sundance-communications.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/647458/toner), the oscillator seems to be doing 8 MHz, so I don't know if the CPU is really operating at 12 MHz.
