An 8600 running Ultrix should be the same size as an 8600 running
anything else.

If you have managed to squeeze 2600 people into 6 pdp-11s, then it
should be possible to also squeeze them into an 8600, depending on
exactly how it is packaged ( I presume one can get expansion boxes,
like a plain vax? ).  It will almost certainly get you the world
record.  However, be aware that the traditional place stuffers
prefer a telephone booth or a VW.  They might not recognize your
record if you use a VAX.
