Last time I heard, Purdue was on self-maintenance for VAXen.  I doubt
DEC will maintain a dual CPU VAX.  We're going the Pyramid route our-
selves.  Price for a 90x with 2 disk controllers, 4 Eagles, 4 Mbyte
memory, Ethernet, 64 ports on 4 Intelligent Terminal Processors (ITP),
C, Pascal, F77, 64 user UNIX license is $185K.  Complete source code makes
up $16K of that price.
