Yeah, sorry about that. Bad rounding on my part there. Most probably
20e model.

But the VAX hardware reference is really bizare when it comes
mesurements.

half of them are in metric and the other half in inches.

And then, many of the metric mesurements use a precision of 0.01
cm.  That's crazy. No standard rule has that kind of precision. It
would be like mesuring with 1/256 of a inch precision (1/32 divided
by 8).
