OK, OK! Everyone by now should be aware now that DEC is
comming out with the Micro 11/J (or is it Micro J/11?), which
is supposed to be an 11/70 on a chip. The important question,
which NOBODY at DEC seems to answer consistently with the next
person is: What standard products will be available? Specifically,
will there be Q-Bus CPU board? Can I replace my 11/23 CPU with
a new 11/70-on-a-Q-Bus CPU? Will the old memory boards be usable,
or will they be too slow? Or will they forget the multiplexed
Q-Bus, and stick to the UNIBUS? How much will CPU boards cost?
I suppose I can wait 'till next summer to find out, but I am
considering switching to a UNIBUS machine, unless I don't have to
(11/70 on Q-Bus)!
