If you value your VAX, you won't put the Fiber-optic adapter for the VS100 in your Unibus!!! At the Univ. of MD High Energy Physics dept. a few years ago I had the *honor* of getting it removed. It was a poor design that loaded down the VAX processor with all screen handling. If a user on the VAXstation moved a window around on the screen, he got most of the CPU! And that was a 780. Just awful! Todd Aven the Software Sweatshop ...with offices conveniently located in Manhattan and Long Beach, NY. ------
