It is supposed to provide 38% more MIPS (or VUPS) for about $48K. The DEC 8650 upgrade kit (44% more speed) costs a good bit more. A speedup kit for 8650s is supposed to be in development. I investigated the Nemonix 780 speedup kit a few months ago, and it had some nifty features like user-installability and a lifetime warranty. I don't have a stake in Nemonix. It's nice to know that our big Unibus machines have not necessarily come to the end of the road, though.
