People here are about to order hardware for a 750 to be used for student use: editing and compiles will be the main load on the machine. Communications will include 32 terminals on DH-like devices plus an ethernet controller that TCP/IP will run over. We could use some help in deciding on the amount of memory to get. Five megabytes is the amount we had in mind, but if we could prove that performance would be much better with even more memory, then we could justify the extra expenditure. We also need help in deciding between a CMI or UNIBUS controller for two eagle drives. The UNIBUS controller is cheaper, so what gains would we see in this environment with the CMI controller? Please reply by mail. I will post a summary to this newsgroup if sufficient information is sent. Thanks.
