Oh, I definitely agree that I wasn't fair. But on the other hand, Wilm
did claim that VMS ran on *any* VAX.
I was also tempted to drag up the VXT1200. But since that one does not
have the name "VAX" in it, it could perhaps technically be disqualified
on that basis... The rtVAX on the other had is without a doubt a VAX,
even in name.
