I am relatively new to the VAX world, but I have already established that
the very same
thing was done to my MicroVAX by the previous owner...
I have heaps of questions for the guy, but regretfully I inherited it from a
deceased estate :-(
What else was done as part of the MicroVAX II -> 3 upgrade?
James
I have a MicroVAX II which has been upgraded to a
MicroVAX 3. I say MicroVAX 3 because that is what
is on the upgrade decal and the DEC instruction
booklet refers to the upgrade as a Microvax 3. Are
there MicroVAX III decals out there, is the
MicroVAX 3 decal unusual, or are both common?

The only things done are the CPU card and memory are replaced. Then the
sticker is applied :-) Everything else stays the same and "Poof!" your vax
is 3x faster than it was. (0.9 VUPS vs 2.7VUPS)

Does anyone here have a uVAX III boardset they want to part with? :)
g.
EBAY does (sorry but that's where I found the KA650, the mem and a few
boards). Aparently there were 2 different people providing equipment for
auction 1 had the boards the other had a MicroVAX III for auction. I'll
make no assumptions .... :-/
