Hello,
We are finally in a position - due to now doing in-house 
maintenance - to upgrade our 780's running 4.2BSD to Purdue duals.  
In order to sell this to my management, it would be helpful to get
responses to the following questions from parties who have
had experience with the duals:

1.  How many duals are you running and how long have you been running them?
2.  Was the Purdue cookbook adequate to build it?
3.  How do you diagnose CPU problems on the slave cpu?
4.  What problems have you had with the dual that you would
    not have had with a single 780?
5.  What disadvantages have you discovered with the dual configuration.

				Thanks for your time and trouble,
