Briefly, what are the differences between the 3B2/300 and the 3B2/310?
Thanks.

The difference is very simple. The first thing is the 3B2/310 is a
direct replacement of the 3B2/300. They look exactly the same from a
physical perspective. The much more important difference is the CPU on
the 300 is an older verion. The 3B2/310 has a WE32100 CPU (That's Western
Electric). This is an upgraded version of the earlier model and is running
at a faster clock rate ( 10 Mhz ). There is an upgrade available for 300 to
allow you to improve to a 3B2/310.
I have a converted 3B2/300 as one of my home machines, so the process is quite
simple to do. My system is now a 3B2/310 running at the 10 Mhz. You may find
it difficult to aquire the upgrade kit in the future, since the 3B2/300 is a
discontinued model, so if you have one of there beasties I would recommend
upgrading as soon as you can.

Speaking from practical experience I was not able to boot 3.1 on
a 3B2/300 here. It would load fine,but after a few minutes into
system initialization it would hang..

I've had no problem on my 300 with 3.0 or 3.1 or later minor versions.

Funny, I've had 3.1 up and running here on my 3b2/300 for two months.
Perhaps I can give you some hints?
BTW, can I run 3.2.1 on a 3b2/300, and how much would it cost me to
upgrade?
