[mod.computers.vax] DEC Star

km@emory.CSNET (Ken Mandelberg) (07/27/86)

There is an article in the July 21 Infoworld about a portable micro-vax
called "DEC Star". The article seems a bit muddled, at one point it
says that it is pitched at CAD/CAM and has 10% the power of a 780.
A price of $7000 os mentioned.

Anyone know any more.

DEC Star is called VAX Star.

I can't tell you whether such a product exists or not, but I
can tell you that you can call your local sales rep. and
ask him for a "non-disclosure" presentation on a product
which may or may not exist and may or may not be called
VAX Star.
