Not personally, but from reports here and comp.sys.dec it sounds less
than complete on platforms for which no hardware docs are available:
3MIN and 3MAX/3MAXPLUS/BIGMAX.  (5000/1xx, 5000/240, 5000/260).  Not
sure about the /200 and 2100/3100.  Doubt they support 5100s at all.
I hear even the MAXINE (5000/xx) code is less polished.

I agree it'd be nice to have a comparison by someone who's acutally
tried both.
