I am not all that worried about speeeeeeeed, but mostly the reliability
and maintainability of the box.

I was reading in the decvax journal on one of the archives that
there was a rather ugly problem with power cabling and connectors
buning on some 11000 of the machines.  Is that likely to be a problem?

Sounds good.  I was mainly wanting something to play with, and since
the machine might be available thought I would inquire.

How does it compare to a MIcroVAX 3100 in speed?  I sense they
are about the same order of slowness.

Thanks
