My DEC salesman says that in February DEC will come out with a new machine
that is slightly faster than a 780, slightly cheaper than a 750, and fits
in a 750-sized box.  High time.  Anybody know about it?  Is it based on the
Microvax ][ chip set, another microprocessor chip set, a bit slice and gate
array implementation, or what?  And what bus will is use?  Is the SBI really
dead?  Is the 11/70 bus really dead?
