Title:     "Very hot stuff"
Author:    Jonathan Cohler
Magazine:  DIGITAL REVIEW  Jun 84  p. 26-33

Extract:
"The MicroVAX I is first of DEC's new supermicrocomputer family--a family 
predicted to dominate the company's product line through the end of the 
decade.  DIGITAL REVIEW photographed and ran one of the first production 
units and found a machine that could extend DEC's supermini dominance to 
the supermicro market.  Virtual memory, true 32-bit processing, and 
multiuser MicroVMS, UNIX and real-time VAXELN operating systems make 
MicroVAX the supermicro to beat."
