I can believe that the 11/84 made the 11/44 obsolete, however. They
fulfill the same niche, with the 11/84 being faster, smaller and
probably cheaper.

    How is the 11/84 smaller?   It was available in two chassis: one that's
takes up about two feet of rack space, and one standard 6U box.   The
11/44 is a 6U box as well.   Were there other packagings of these
machines of which I'm unaware?

I think I must have misremembered. I just, for some reason, thought that the 11/44 CPU box was a bit larger, but looking at documentation it would appear they were the exact same physical size.
