From: allegra!emory!km@BERKELEY (Ken Mandelberg) Is anyone running 4.2BSD on a Vax 785? Are there any problems? Does it run the same binary as a 780, or are some changes needed?

From: ulysses!gamma!jeb@BERKELEY (John Berry) We are running a VAX785 with 2 unibuses, 6 ra81s, 2 dzs, and 8 MB of memory. There are no software changes except making a new floppy for booting using the wcs on DEC's console floppy and adding the 4.2 stuff. The only hardware problem we have had is with the floating point boards. We are running with them pulled out and the performance seems to be ok. Also if you plan to run 2 uda's you should also run 2 unibuses. We have one uda on a uba alone with a 0 delay on the uda, but on the other uda we are running a 6.2 ms delay because of the other boards in that uba.
