Well. my machines official name is "Byron 3216" because I completely repackaged
my ST in a box I had lashed up for a National 32016 unix-board (which I 
never got due to National's overpromising).  But across the front
of this rather sleek, low-lying box is a huge "VAX 11/780" sticker
(remnant of a thousand DEC wars) so everybody just calls it "VAX".

Which begs the question: just how similar are the two in power?

No idea.  Anyone have a suggestion?
