We have here an (aging) VAX-11/750 and we are moving it to a new location that
doesn't have particularly clean power. We have a number of options, as we see
it, to make sure it keeps going;

	1) Install a power-line conditioner,
	2) Install an Uninterruptable Power-Supply (UPS), or
	3) Install Battery Backup (within CPU).

If you have had experience with battery backup on a VAX-11/750, I would dearly
like to hear from you. We need to know the advantages and disadvantages of
such a beastie.

Please mail all replies rather than replying on the net, if possible. If you
are interested in the replies, send me a note and I will (eventually) post
a summary to you or the net.
