I personally think that there will have to be some heavy wizardry involved to keep up disk integrity. We are watching the VMS people across the street with their SIMACS running VMS. They only have one VAX now, but the 2nd is on the way. They have the CPU on one side and the Eagles on the other. That works great, I am told. The real fun will begin when their other VAX rolls it! Let the other guy try it and see! If it works well, this could open up a lot of possiblilities for us. b.c.mather software surgeon uiucdcs!uicsl!mather
