For an alternative viewpoint, the only VAXen I'd want to run at home are
the 11/730 and the 11/780 family (11/780, 11/782, 11/785). The reason is
those are the only ones I can actually understand the internals of --
they're built from standard chips (non-protected PALs in the 11/730,
admittedly), rather than custom gate arrays or worse).
