Really?
I always read that the uVAX II would be 4Mhz. What you say
is quiet surprising as I am pretty sure that a VAXstation
3100/30 is 11Mhz.
Do you know of any spec documents from DEC/Compaq online
about this? I mean real numbers and not the comparison
of VAX performance that expresses next to nothing.
However, I think it's quiet surprising that this VAX sells
for more than 50$. I always thought that these VAXen are
something you get for free just because the previous
owner does not want to pay the fee for dumping it.
Anyway such a VAX is a really nice machine.
