It is.  About one third that of a MVII.  Also it's limited in the amount
of ram installable (uses Qbus memory) so something less than 4meg is 
the MAX!

Unless your into preserving history that s a good recommendation.

UvaxI is the smallest instruction subset of the whole bunch and that
compile estimate may be off by a few days. ;)
