[net.rumor] Goodbye to Vax 750 and 780

johnl@ima.UUCP (12/14/85)

My DEC salesman says that in February DEC will come out with a new machine
that is slightly faster than a 780, slightly cheaper than a 750, and fits
in a 750-sized box.  High time.  Anybody know about it?  Is it based on the
Microvax ][ chip set, another microprocessor chip set, a bit slice and gate
array implementation, or what?  And what bus will is use?  Is the SBI really
dead?  Is the 11/70 bus really dead?

I've been hearing something similar named "Scorpio".  It's a multi-processor
uVax-II in a -750 box.
