Interesting, I didn't know the line went on that long (a list I found
put that model's introduction at 1996.)

At work we had a VaxStation 4000 that was still being used for
compiling certain code.  Instead of relying on keeping it going, we
spent the big $ on the Charon Vax emulator.  It's working fine, but I
have to wonder if SimH would have done the job as well :)
