an example of 4341 uptake ... from old post http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2001m.html#15 departmental servers
a little more drift related to growth of internal network in 83 http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/internet.htm#22 the 4341 follow-on was originally going to be an 801-based chip http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#801 however, there was a document produced showing that it was now possible to get 370 in silicon. the 801 strategy had been to take all the internal microprocessors and converge to a single chip architecture for microprocessors. however, the document showed that is was getting to be possible to directly implement 370 in silicon ... as opposed to taking a simpler microprocessor silicon engine and implementing 370 in microprogramming. however, by the time that 4381 shipped ... the great exploding market segment that saw 4341 and vax uptake was starting to move to workstations and high-end PCs. slightly related posting http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2004g.html#24 |d|i|g|i|t|a|l| question some of the vax numbers during the period: http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2002f.html#0 Computers in Science Fiction
