- Same here...
-
- I suspect what happened is DEC picked a part number out of the air, and then
- decided to see how many people wanted it before they actually put
- engineering effort into designing the damn thing.
-
- I bought a 4000/60 because my rep assured me that I could put the 2 scsi
- interfaces in. I now have a nice 4000/60 sitting here waiting to do the
- job it was originally designed for, that I've paid for.
-
- Pisses me off. On the other hand, my HP9000/730's are doing the job the
- VAX was supposed to do very nicely... You can bet where my money's going
- next time.
