We are considering 3rd party maintenance for our VAXen, we have
1-750s, 1-780 and 1-785, we are considering replacing the 785 with
an 8600. Peripherals are mixed vendors: e.g. CDC RM0x
with either Emulex or CDC Controllers;
several of our disks use an EMULEX controller and FUJITSU
Eagles; tape drives are S.I. and Kennedy tri-density drives on
Emulex or S.I. controllers.

I would be interested in hearing about other's experience with Non-DEC
maintenance, I will summerize all replies and distibute them.
I would be especially interested in replies from VAX sites in the
LA area but will appreciate any information I can get.
Please reply to VERNE@ECLA or CIS:71545,150.
