We are interested in obtaining information on computers which have floating point (approx. 64 bits) performance a magnitude greater than the VAX 11/780 with a price range is under $750K. A system that runs UNIX(tm) would be preferable, but not a necessity. We have seen some information on Elexsi and SEL. The Elexsi claims to be a 4MFLOPs machine. I don't know what the performance of the SEL is, but they claim to have UNIX. Can anybody comment on these machines or others that meet the requirement. In particular: Are functioning machines (including software) available? What are the ratings? What do they costs? How ugly is their software? Thanks, Jon
