Right! I have at least one of them. You know how one would see, which
one it is? Different board numbers?

I would, but I already have one, so like Tony, I don't need *another* one.

I believe your recollection is correct. I was working on a project and
looking at replacing a bunch of 11 boxes, and we had an NDA discussion
of what would be MVII. WE selected those to replace the aging 11
boxes, the configuration gave us more compute nodes, less power
consumption, and much less p

There are only 2 families of VAXen that I would want to own/run. The
