If DEC is actually going to phase out the PRO-350 and PRO-380 what will they
be using as the console devices for the current 8xxx series machines and any
future big end Vaxen??

They have LSI-11's in the 7xx series, I don't think they're going to go back 
to these?!?

It would be interesting, getting a new VAX 8xxx and finding that the boot
console is actually a uVax. I believe that the uVax is booted by an 8086.

If this keeps up you could spend all day waiting for a chain of CPUs to 
boot before you got any work done!
