This is an off-the-wall question:
"About what kind of VAX system am I going to need to support
10 systems programmers doing HEAVY development work, i.e. lots of
video editor stuff (hopefully EMACS), and lots of LARGE compiles, plus
misc. ARPAnet traffic, all on 4.2BSD?"
I realize that this question has no real answer, but I am only familiar
with VMS on 780s, I have never run or used a 730 or 750, and never 4.2BSD.
Any comments on configurations you are running, with the number of
concurrent users, load factors, etc. would be appreciated. Also any
comments about good/bad choices for disks, terminal interfaces, or
ARPAnet interface devices would be very helpful.
Please reply directly, as our site has not received ANY traffic from
this list for almost three weeks, and our requests to -REQUESTS have
been unanswered (Hint, Hint).
Thanks,
Tom Perrine
