OK, maybe not so useful, seeing as I seem to have the only XD88 left in the world...
XD88 Models
Tektronix produced several XD88 variants. Information on these is sketchy at best, although I've been able to piece together the following:
| Model | Type |
| XD88/01 | 'Headless' server machine with no graphics (likely a /10 with missing framebuffer board) |
| XD88/10 | The machine described in these pages |
| XD88/20 | Unknown. Possibly as the /10, but with 24 bit framebuffer? |
| XD88/30 | Monster VME rack system, 24 bit framebuffer and hardware 3D |
