Well. my machines official name is "Byron 3216" because I completely repackaged my ST in a box I had lashed up for a National 32016 unix-board (which I never got due to National's overpromising). But across the front of this rather sleek, low-lying box is a huge "VAX 11/780" sticker (remnant of a thousand DEC wars) so everybody just calls it "VAX". Which begs the question: just how similar are the two in power? No idea. Anyone have a suggestion? -- Mark Tilden: _-_-_-__--__--_ /(glitch!)
