This is where I've always wanted to play with FDDI. I'd love to boot a MicroVAX II off of either a high end VAX or an Alpha via a FDDI link. I'm curious as to which would be faster. Running the MicroVAX II off of native disks, or over the FDDI link. Depends on what disks and controller you have on the MVII of course... If it's an RQDX3, then just about anything else will be faster. :-) Johnny -- Johnny Billquist || "I'm on a bus || on a psychedelic trip email: bqt at softjar.se || Reading murder books pdp is alive! || tryin' to stay hip" - B.
