I would think that even an unloaded VAX 11-750 might have difficulty "blowing away" a Mac II. I do not have a Mac II running A/UX, but a 80386 machine is perceptably faster than a VAX 750 (a 780 might be a different matter). Not to bring up the old benchmark contraversy or anything, but not all VAX 11/750 's are alike (FPU, # DMA channels, etc.). The point, however, is a good one. Never have I seen an unloaded VAX. An unloaded SUN, perhaps, but not a VAX. Let's keep workstations as workstations, and minis as minis. E. Jung seismo!sdcsvax!maiden or maiden@sdcsvax.ucsd.edu
