  21.  
  22.    Compatability mode is a hardware capability that stopped shipping
  23.    during the VAX 8000 series.  The OS support, called the RSX AME,
  24.    continued to ship as an optional product and added a compatability 
  25.    mode emulator so that VAXen without compatability mode hardware
  26.    could still run RSX images.
