Not really, as the 4500 has different supervisor options, that bring
up new and exciting problems.

Which is why I listed only 5000 and 6500 :)

Indeed.

We've collected a 2900, 2900XL and 2926 over time.  The 2926 is a 
fixed-config-SupII-5000.  The 2900XL is a "standard XL" switch.  The
2900 is a 2HE switch with two expansion bays for "high speed uplink
modules" (like 2x 100BaseFX).

The 2948 and 2980 are fixed-config Cat4000s.

The 2948G-L3/4908G-L3 are bastard Cat8500s (<< yeah, forgot a big one)

Ah, indeed.  Forgot even more.

Not to speak of individual funnies, like "certain 2950 series only available
in EI, and others only with SI software".
