How many VAX-11/78x machines were produced?
These days you expect that thousands of any machine would
be sold (except maybe the specialised supercomputers).
I believe that for the VAX 9000 series, only 400-500 made
it out of the door. The same order of magnitude may well
be true for the VAX-11/78x systems.
You can't base the VAX-11/78x system sales projections on the
VAX 9000 sales. The VAX-11/78x systems were very reliable and
worked well. The VAX 9000 systems weren't and didn't.
