It seems the trade rags haven't made much of it, but..

    We also have a 5810 coming.  It's an R3000 based system in a Vax 6x00
cabinet with space for 2 RA90 drives in the top (1.2 gig each) and up to
256 meg of memory.  1 or two processors can be used, placed along with the
memory and up to 5 VAXBI bus interfaces.

     All in all, it sounds like a mid-range screamer.  I'll let you know
how it performs when we get it.  I can't wait!

    (My apologies if this is supposed to be a MIPS-only group.)
