	The MicroVAX II was clocked at 40MHz (IIRC) and had a cycle time
	of 200ns (no cache needed since main memory was able
	to meet this).

	The VAXstation 3100 had a 90ns cycle time. I don't know
	at what speed it was clocked but the KA655 (also based
	on a CVAX chip) achieved a cycle time of 60ns from
	a 33MHz clock

	The DEC Technical Journals are online, although the
	first two volumes are *not* online. The rest you'll have
	to get from old manuals and Sales Updates (the 
	Sales Updates back to 1994 were also online at one
	point but I cannot find them right now).

	All mine were free (except for one). It's just the luck of 
	the draw I guess.

	Very true.
