I was successful in upgrading my VAX 4000/300 to a /500. I had the
CPU but had to buy MS690 memory to replace my MS670. I also went
from 96MB to 128M. Now to find a used /700A or /705A CPU to upgrade
further.

I was a little worried that my backplane was not of the right revision,
but the barcode part number matched that of a /500 and /400 at work, so
I wasn't too worried. I'd seen conflicting information when I searched
DejaNews^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^HGoogleGoups, so I figured I'd better check. If
anyone else needs this information, the bardcode part number on all three
systems is 54-19354-01.
