We need 40-60 MB of disk. DEC recommends the 730, but people have complained about them being "slow". I have heard marvelous rumours about the uVAX II being significantly faster; however, our local DEC sales rep was vague on the product's capabilities and pricing (and everything else). Any suggestions on an appropriate configuration? How real is the uVAX II and how fast is it? Should we wait for it? Any comments would be appreciated (directly to me, since I am not on the infovax list). Thanks.... Don Krasnick, Human Designed Systems
