I agree that it may not be the most appropriate place, but some people may claim that a Q-bus machine is a micro. ?!?!? -- ________________________________________________________________________ | Ben Pashkoff BEN@VMSA.TECHNION.AC.IL | | BEN@TECHMAX.BITNET | | BEN@TECHUNIX.BITNET | | VAX/VMS Systems | | Computer Center Phone:(972)-4-292177 office | | Technion IIT (972)-4-885569 home | | Haifa, Israel 32000 FAX: (972)-4-236212 | |______________________________________________________________________|

In fact, I think you'll find the names "microVAX" and "microPDP" are used to label certain Q-bus systems. Rainbow is not the only non-Q-bus DEC micro, how about the DECmate and the Pro?
