We have a beta test of ULTRIX-32m running on our microVAX which
can really only support 1 to 2 users mostly because there isn't
enough disk.  We've heard that the MicroVAX II will probably be
announced in February 1985, its performance is somewhere between
a 750 and a 780, closer to the 750.  Based on MIPS, with the 780
being a 1 and the 750 a .7, looks like uVAXII could be .8.  Also
the uVAXI will be field upgradable to a II (board swap).  I have
no real feel for the 730, however the uVAXI is rated as a .3 and
the 730 a .36 so their real close. We do have some EMACS users on
our 780's and it really eats up the system, so my suggestion is
that a 750 may be more appropriate unless you want to wait for 
the MicroVAX II.
