Where can I get a load of the 1.0A or 1.1B for the VAX?
I have not seen that anywhere.  I would like to try those for
comparisons, too, and keep a set around for historical reasons.

This is just about what I was getting, it would seem.  That is
about a 35 percent slowdown difference roughly between 1.3.2 and 1.5?

The CPU data all looks pretty good and even, especially after 1.3.2.
That still points to the ethernet area as Ragge mentioned?

What is the exact card ordering in your machine?  I noticed some
difference in swapping ethernet/tape/disk around, but I need to
fiddle with that some more.

Thanks
