Anyone have any news about the price to upgrade a VAX 11/780 to a VAX 11/785?
Supposedly, they just pull all your CPU boards and replace them.  Voila,
a 50% speed improvement.  Our DEC sales rep is supposed to give us
figures on Tuesday, and the official announcement is in April.

It will be interesting to find out how plug compatiblethey really are.
