I don't.  I use UNIXPC when I wish to refer generically to the type of
computer.  If I wish to refer to 10/20M machines, I say 7300.  If I wish
to refer to full-height machines, I say 3B1.

Perhaps I should have included a mention that the 7300s are different
from 3B1s.  You are correct, and I was more clear in an internal memo,
that the half-height drives DO NOT autopark.

The word UNIX PC is on the front of all production UNIX PCs of which I'm
aware.  Some early pre-production models had PC 7300 on the lower right
under the monitor.
