Absolutely. Every time I hear someone blathering on about "new
SAN technology" I show them stuff about VAXclusters and CI. I always
get a kick out of the reactions. :)

MSCP is really
like serial SCSI (or serial ATA), only done 20 years
earlier.
AFAIK MSCP / TMSCP is also the protocol spoken on CI and DSSI.
(DSSI is
just a "cheap" parallel cable variant of CI.) So the typical VAX
cluster
setup with HSCs is more similar to a FibreChannel SAN. And I think
CI is
close to 30 years old.
DEC was really ahead of the time.
