[net.unix] Upgrading a 780 to a 785 and SYS V

klr@hadron.UUCP (Kurt L. Reisler) (01/15/86)

We are contemplating upgrading an existing DEC VAX 11/780 to an 11/785.
The current system is running AT&T System V Rev 2.2 with a full complement
of disks (RP07, RA80, RA81, RA60).  Has anyone had any experience with
this type of upgrade, and if so, what problems were encountered, if any?
Please respond to this group, or directly to

Thanks in advance,

We have a number of VAX 780 and 785 machines running System V.  As
nearly as I can tell, there are NO incompatabilities between these.
Too bad DEC didn't make all the machines in its VAX line that
compatable.
