I keep thinking about it, but no. The 780 was neat from a historical

Is that Bitnet as in the Because it was there network that many IBM
mainframes were on?
but the 780 was really slow. I have a Microvax II here that would
equal it CPU speed-wise, and the running of the main memory on the
SBI was cool for the 782 option but was pretty slow.
Can I ask for a rough translation in to comparative VAX Units of
Performance (VUPs)? I /think/ that the VAX 11/780 was 1 VUP.
