What sort of tests do you do? I would be happy to post numbers from my
twin 4000-700As, my 8700 (when I have all the requisite parts), my
6000-610, my 7000-650, my 4000/VLC, my 3100/30, and any other VAXen I have
lying around. I wonder if I could do a VUP test on something other than
VAX and have it mean anything.

Peace... Sridhar
