Hi David,
here are my .5 cent, cause i started to do the same job.
cheers,
emanuel
P.S. the tps number i got from a performance chart from the dec site. I
think, that is more interresting than the pure CPU power.
P.P.S. You are sure that they use eeproms? i think this are EPROMs...
P.P.P.S. as far i know, the small enclosure for the VaxStations/MicroVaxen
3100 is a BA42-A, the bigger one is BA42-B
BA42-B: height 5.9 inch, width: 18.26 inch, depth: 15.75 inch
P.P.P.P.S some parts are from the MicroVax-FAQ
