I used to have a VAXmate when it was actually in production, but it was just our home computer. It was 100% AT compatible, and ran just about everything fine DEC did skimp, however, on the graphics. It did not fully implement CGA. I beleive it would only display 8 monochrome shades, while CGA implemented a full 16 shades. While it was compatible with all CGA software, the display sometimes left something to be desired. The ridiculous form factor left something to be desired as well. I've never liked all-in-one designs. And the VAXmate's plastics and construction could best be described as "cheap." I think the idiotic door hiding the disk drive broke off after about a month of use. jba at sdf.lonestar.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org
