Yep, I've worked with those. Bog-standard cheap PCs.
But...do you remember the "applicationDEC 433MP"? They put
"application" before "DEC" in the name to "emphasize the
application-oriented nature of the system" blah blah blah. The decision
of a just-out-of-college marketing suit, no doubt.
It was an odd multiprocessor 80486-based machine that was nowhere near
PC-compatible, if memory serves. Needless to say I think they sold
about four of them. I'd bet that marketing guy is a night manager at a
Wal*Mart now.
Darn thing only seems to want parity RAM, too.
That figures.
