     Actually that
rack contains two VAX 4000/700As.   Ahhhh! I get jealous reading that. The 4k VAXen
are quite nice and the
 700A has around 33VUPs. My best VAXen are a 4k400 and a VS4k90.   
 The VAXstation 4000/90 is a 42 VUP system and the VAX 4000/400 is a
 16 VUP system, so you aren't doing too bad.  I seem to recall the
 VAX 4000/700A is about 40 VUPs and the /705A is about 45-50 VUPs.  
   The VAX CPU Summary lists these numbers:

   VS4000/90   32.8 VUPS
   4000/700a   40 VUPS
   4000/705a   45 VUPS 
The numbers I have are from DSN, and the 42 VUP rating for the 4000/90 feels
right to me.

...
   I would rather
go with a QBUS SCSI or HSDxx controller.  Once I find
 one I"ll get rid of my DSSI disks.  
   Get rid of 'em in my direction, please. 8-) 
Okay, when I do you've got first shot.
