Lets see if I can beat Dave on this....I may get a few wrong, though.

J90 system, max 16 Processor.  This system can take two more processor
blades and two more memory modules.

Processor boards - 4 processing units/unit, total of 8 processors.  Two
IOS interface boards...and maybe some HIPPI interfaces cards.

Did they actually take the memory modules apart?  Oy.  Probably 32 or
64Megaword modules.

See above.

VME Chasses = IOS...the CPU's connection to its disk and the outside
world.

Probably 4 SCSI controllers, 2 IOS interface boards, and the ethernet
interface to the Operator Workstation.
