We've got four micro vaxes up and running for a class with about
50 students. So far I haven't noticed any major bugs, certainly
nothing like DUA0 going offline or having to be remounted.
We've got the four machines in a closet, where the tempature is
pushing 90 degrees (which the Owner's manual states is the top
of the operating range). There could be tempature problems.
MicroVAX II, or the VAX on a chip is apparently available
internally in the company, and has been benchmarked on some
things at 80% of a 780. But that figure is second hand and
virtually worthless given that the benchmarks used were not
specified. Anyway, it will probably evolve into an entirely
different machine from the uVAX I, and I doubt an upgrade will
be possible.
