Yes they copied the PDP11 and the VAX.... but, They made an VAX Chip that's
compatible to the VAX730...and we all know that the VAX730 ist not an one
chip solution as the russian chip is.

Ooh! Is there any chance I could get my hands on one of those single-chip VAX730 
"clone" machines? That sounds quite cool.

Well, unless I'm mistaken, when the Russian VAX-11/730 on a chip came, DEC had already produced the uVAX II, which is also just a chip, but much faster than an 11/730, so it's not exactly as if the Russians were outperforming what DEC was doing... Exactly when did this Russian chip come out, by the way? Curious on exactly how far DEC had come at the time of that chip. :-)
