Any comments ???? ---------------------------------------------------------- copyright InformationWEEK Issue 016, May 27, 1985 page 10 MicroVAX III to Run Full Instruction Set "There is a story behind the reports that a MicroVAX III will be announced by Digital Equipment Corp. before the end of the year. Because some users are complaining that the instruction set on the MicroVAX II is not a full 32-bit implementation of the VAX family's 32-bit instruction set, there is apprehension that the recently announceed machine won't run all the VAX software. One solution: the MicroVAX III, which is planned to run the full instruction set of the VAX family and will boast twice the performance of the II. Some Digital Equipment insiders say the III will weigh in with the Massbus high-speed bus attachment. Others are saying the Massbus will be available before the MicroVAX III, possibly as soon as this summer." ----------------------------------------------------------- ~~ Russ
