I agree that the custom gate arrays make the 11/750
unrepairable
(except for raiding parts), but I still think it's a good compromise
between size and performance, for the VAX-11 line.
Has anyone here actually ever come across an 11/750 failure caused by
one of the gate arrays? They are remarkably reliable machines.
Neither are _easy_ to find, but I think it's
more likely to find a dusty 11/750 in a corner of a warehouse than an
11/780.
One will find ten /750s for every /780 these days.
