the vax smp emulator seems to support that theory.

  I have a running 8350 as well, should you need a dump of the console media or something.

  It is, I believe, the physically smallest BI bus VAX, and therefore interesting for those reason.  It's the only such machine that I could fit in my garage :-)

  It's also the only multi-processor VAX system that I have and equally interesting for that reason too.  FWIW, I've always wondered if the limitation to two CPUs was purely for testing and support reasons - it doesn't seem that there's any reason why you could not plug in three or even more CPU cards.
