5 :-)

Physically identical (you can upgrade/downgrade to your heart's content).
Basically an 11/785 is an 11/780 with a faster CPU. An 11/780 is 1VUP (by
definition) and an 11/785 is 1.5VUP.

I used to look after (both hardware and software) 11/780s and 11/785s. The
last pair were known as black (11/785) and blue (11/780) as the 785 had
originally been an Intergraph system and was repainted black. Black and
blue also reflected on my fingers/body/etc - these systems are heavy.

After having fun with these systems we replaced them with 8800 series
VAXen. At one stage I looked after 4 and we had another 2 under Digital
maintenance. Now those were the good old days....
