I can note here that we ran a 4-CPU 8350 (8354? :-) with Ultrix. Worked very well!

This was also the machine which I used when writing the NetBSD vax SMP support.

the vax smp emulator seems to support that theory.

I have a running 8350 as well, should you need a dump of the console media or something.

It is, I believe, the physically smallest BI bus VAX, and therefore interesting for those reason. It's the only such machine that I could fit in my garage :-)

It's also the only multi-processor VAX system that I have and equally interesting for that reason too. FWIW, I've always wondered if the limitation to two CPUs was purely for testing and support reasons - it doesn't seem that there's any reason why you could not plug in three or even more CPU cards.
