The PRO 350 is based on a DEC F11 (PDP-11/23+) processor, not an Intel chip. It was never meant to run PC applications, but a fair amount of RSX (or RT11) software will work. And BTW, it was the PRO 380, not the 350, which was used as a high-end VAX console device. You apparently know nothing about the PRO, but it doesn't keep you from flaming about it. Too bad. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jerry C.
