I have a 990, which was the Viking top of the line around 1980. Been my main machine all these years and still is.
This one is an earlier version of mine, probably one of the earliest of the Electronic machines. Not really "computerized" but not quite "mechanical" it has step motors that run it - and that is why you can get the fancier stitching, including the alphabet. At least there is no cam stack to break LOL!!

I beleive teh 6570 was the last of the mechanical machines, and the 66XX series are electronic, then Viking switched number series and went to a three digit number. Have no idea what they did after that.

I had a 6570 before I went to this machine.
