[HECnet] Introducing myself... and my little network

[Mark Wickens]

Mark,

I've run a 4000/60 and 4000/90 at different times. 
The '60s are about 12 VPUs and the '90s are about 40 VPUs. However, both numbers are quite respectable and I've found that having a reasonable amount of memory (64MB+) enables both to be quite competent. Expect to wait about 3 times as long for CPU intensive tasks to complete on the '60.

Most of time however you don't really notice much difference.

Regards, Mark.

Hello list,

I've just joined HECnet under the area 7, and I wanted to introduce myself and my little puppies :)

Hello!

I am interested to know how you find the performance of the VAXstation
4000/60 compared to others.

Good to see someone with such great skills on old iron join us. I know
very little outside vasics and simple DECnet setup :)
