We are about to replace one of our old VAX 11/780's (with old 4MByte memory)
by a new VAX 8500 with (very soon old) 20 Megabytes of main storage.
DEC tells us that the new memory boards are not yet available and no prices
are available as well. We only do have the choice -
either wait for a few more months or buy - once again - old memory.
Are there already 8500's with new (max.80MByte) boards already available or
orderable in the U.S. ?
Any information is welcome.
