To clarify: Firefly is an internal-only device built by DEC research in
Palo Alto.  It wasn't a product and as far as I remember wasn't the basis
of one, either.  There are some DEC SRC reports that describe aspects of
the Firefly.  I think Modula-3 was invented for it, but I may have my
research platforms mixed up.


DEC claimed that the VAXstation 3520/3540 was based on Firefly.  Certainly
many aspects of 35x0 are similar to 2nd gen Firefly, though details are
different.
