I have a MicroVAX I... it's more of a curiosity than anything. Quite limited. We bought two when they first came out and upgraded one (full price, $17K ISTR) to a MicroVAX II. The enhanced one was used for product development and a few other things. The unenhanced one was our hardware test box so if one of our boards under test was so broken that it damaged the host (that did happen once or twice), it was cheaper to get back into service. I should go fire that box up and see if the hard drive has stiction (odds are good). -ethan
