We (CWRU) got a donated MV10000 from DG in the mid-80s. It was pretty
easy to get an account on it, as opposed to the "official" VAX, but
everyone hated working on it. It was just painful, especially if you
tried to get free software working.
DG tried, but, at least in our case, they just weren't up to it.
