Guven that DEC has gone with the daughter card approach for the CPU, the
question is how compatible are the cards between series?
The reason I ask is that for the DS5000/100 series, they had a 120, 125
and recently introduced a 133. (20, 25, 33 MHZ)
For the Maxine, we have the model 20 and 25. When will the model 33 be
out? It seems to me as it in theory is only a cpu/clock issue that the
board should be available sometime in the future.
Is DEC playing a marketing game where everyone buys 25's and then
introduces the upgrade 6 months down the line? I believe it would be
prudent to find out what the future looks like. (Even if under
non-disclosure)
