More rumors...

VMS will have "full symmetric processing".  Give it a year to 18 months.

Scorpio is small VAX --- desk model fitting between MicroVAX and 780 size,
with >780 performance using BI bus.

You will not be stuck with DEC on the BI bus.  Something like 80 third-
party vendors will be working on BI compatible hardware.

8650 seems to be a sure thing.  Bigger machine later ("Nautilus") has thing
called "MI bus" --- "Memory Interconnect"??  Any other guesses?
Does this mean more CPU's?

All the above are flagrant rumors, and should not be treated as gospel.
We'll hear all about it at DECUS anyhow.
