And I hear that the 8800 is the likewise long awaited VAX-11/755. Seems they were tweaking around with the 750 to see how fast it could be made to run, and it just kept on running faster and faster ... which is why it is limited to 32MB of memory. Aren't these rumours fun ? But seriously, it looks like DEC is catching up on technology; if VMS becomes a truly symmetric N-processor system, it should be reasonable to see it give IBM a run for the mainframe money. / Lars ------
