The 725 is nothing but a non-expandable 11/730 with 1MB of memory and
a RC25 disk subsystem. The RC25 is 52MB disk with 26MB fixed, and
26MB removable.  It is repackaged for the office and the UNIBUS cannot
be expanded.  

The Micro vax is a VAX compatible 32 bit micro which is implemented
on the Q-bus and is expected to run Micro VMS and Ultrix (4.1bsd
Unix with enhancements).  It will have no PDP-11 compatibility mode.
It contains 1MB memory and a 25MB 5 1/4 inch winnie.

The 725 is expected to cost about 25K and the micro vax around 20K.

These products were announced last week by DEC
