Would anyone on the list recall when the first generation Vaxes were off and

happened we were right in the middle of the model series that DEC happened
to be building. But that the BSD release that ran on those was from the 4
series.

    The first VAX was the VAX-11/780, which was announced in late 1977 and
shipped in early 1978, if memory serves. (if that was what you were
wondering about)
