I have found two conflicting sources for when this
machine was introduced.
According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MicroVAX) it was April
1994. The source of this information appears to be this article:

However, the following HP article
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvms/20th/vmsbook.pdf on p60 (bottom right)
suggests it is September 1992.
Both sources would appear to be pretty reliable, but they can't both be
right. Does anyone have any suggestion how I might determine which is the
more accurate?

The MicroVAX FAQ lists it as 1991 - I doubt if it is as late as 1994 -
it's basically the same technology as is in the 4000/90A, so it might be
worth cross-referencing with that model introduction.
