The poop I got from DEC is, paraphrased, as follows:

The Micro-Vax I is a 6-chip implementation of the VAX architecture
which is packaged as a board replacement for the 11/23 (or whatever)
processor board in the Micro J/11.  Performance statistics were not
given.  It should be announced (ie. ready for orders to be taken) 
sometime this quarter, with deliveries 2nd quater next year.

The Micro-Vax II is a 1 chip implementation of the VAX architecture
which also is a board swap.  Preliminary tests show it to perform
at about 80% of a 780 (nature of tests was unsepcified).  Should
be announced end of first quarter next year with delivery dates
as yet undetermined.
