Why restrict yourself to DEC hardware? It seems logical that if you
know what kind of software you want that the logical thing to do is
find the software and purchase the machine it runs on. Much easier
than the other way 'round, where you must badger the software vendor
to port to your machine. Even worse, you may wid up having to pay for
the port.
