It's more than a souped up 11/780, but I guess in this company it's a fair description. :-) If noone goes for it, I'd love to get my hands on the cards (especially memory). Update have one 8650 up and running 24/7 with NetBSD. I'm about to embark on an ambitious project of getting the device driver from Ultrix working in NetBSD, if someone else feels like joining in... Does anyone have any good ideas what the problem can be if an 8650 have problems booting the FE, by the way? It fails about 50% of the time. I've checked all cables, tried two different FEs, tried different RL02 drives and packs. Different controllers. When I get an error, it's a problem with the RL02. That much I can tell mentioned in the DEC documentation for the 8650. The only thing I just realized I haven't swapped is the Q-bus backplane...
