Steve,

The 2100 is exactly the same as the 3100 except for a slower
CPU/FPU (12.5 MHz vs 16.67MHz) and slower cache (35ns vs 23ns).
Other than that, everything is exactly the same; same board etch;
same other components; and same serial ports.  The software was
not redone; they run exactly the same binaries, both user and kernel.
