In my personal experience I was never able to put Ampac or Mopac 5.0 up 
with f77 on a sun 3.  However under SunOS 4, a combustion modeling code(HCT
from Livermore) went up OK.  I would test some of the codes you want to put 
up on the machine on a demo machine.  Most computer companies are willing to
let people test there codes on a machine before buying it.  The Dec 3100 
workstation has been impressive.  Mopac 5.0 and an earlier INDO code 
work fine and at about 11 times the speed of a Microvax.
