Order No.s SN-PBF5W-3A ( W/NT ) SN-PBF5W-VA ( DU 4.0x ) No mention of VMS of course, and no price given for the little monster. Back in Dec. I extracted a postscript file from the SOC which seemed to show that the pedestal box has actually 2 motherboards in it, but I can't find it back right now. Wonder just how well it does do SMP? Haimo Zobernig haimo@wisconsin.cern.ch find it back right now.
