[net.decus] DEC Pro INfo Request

li63sdl@sdcc7.UUCP (DAVID SMITH) (05/23/85)

	I have a chance to buy a DEC Professional 350 at a really good price
and I was wondering if anybody had any good/bad comments about the machine.
I have heard that it can be a little slow.  I'm not *too* concerned about that
though as long as it runs at a reasonable speed.  Does anybody have any flames 
about Pro/VENIX?  I'm planning to use this thing as a UNIX box.
	How about third-party boards and stuff?  I believe EMULEX makes a 
hard disk controller board, though I'm not sure.  Is it possible to get just
the board and plug in a "standard" hard disk drive?

	Please reply by mail to me and I will summarize to the net if there's
enough response.

			Thanks in Advance,
			David L. Smith
