We are considering 3rd party maintenance for our VAXen, we have 1-750s, 1-780 and 1-785, we are considering replacing the 785 with an 8600. Peripherals are mixed vendors: e.g. CDC RM0x with either Emulex or CDC Controllers; several of our disks use an EMULEX controller and FUJITSU Eagles; tape drives are S.I. and Kennedy tri-density drives on Emulex or S.I. controllers. I would be interested in hearing about other's experience with Non-DEC maintenance, I will summerize all replies and distibute them. I would be especially interested in replies from VAX sites in the LA area but will appreciate any information I can get. Please reply to VERNE@ECLA or CIS:71545,150. -------
