I'm evaluating one of the things for the company I work for.  So
far, all I've done is talk to a lady at Symmetric over the phone and
request more info.

The lady I talked to at the company said that it benchmarked anywhere from
10% to 30% faster than a Vax 750 with an FPA (both int and floating pt).
I'm not familiar with the speed of the 11/73.  Does her claim stand up
in the light of your benchmarks?
