  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."

Gack, Massbus, bletch.  Sounds like it's planning on being prohibitively
expensive for a small computer.  Maybe their just calling it that.  The
massbus cable is bigger than the whole computer.  What we would really
like to see on the MicroVAX is FLOATING POINT!

They can leave most of the rest of the unimplemented instructions behind.
