Essentially, it was an 11/730 w/RC25 as the primary disk device, but you
*could* stick other stuff in there. I even knew a company that ran a BA-11
box off of theirs, but DEC *did not* support that configuration.
It was a packaging issue. There should be no way to tell an 11/725 from
an 11/730 in software.

I believe
someone gave an earlier response that the MicroVAX I was too
small to run openVMS alone.
Well, you're not as bad off as I was thinking, must have been mixing you up
with a VAX-11/725.

So *THAT* is what an 11/725 is! <shudder> Isn't the RC25 one of those drives
that rates about the same if not worse than a RD53? What I was refering to
is that VMS V5.1 is the last version to support it.
Hmmm, now I'm going to have to dig up one of my catalogues and see if it's
the 11/725 or another system that I saw a picture of and thought it looked
cool. Could very well be, is the 11/725 a really tiny system that could go
beside a desk?

To follow up my own post... It is the system I'd been admiring. Didn't
realize that was a RC25. Don't know that I'd want to try and keep one
running, but that is one sweet looking system, 24.5"x17.5"x28.5". Of
course it only shipped with 1MB of RAM, just what version of VMS was
shipping in the Spring of '84?
