FT810 substitute
Regardless, the application was developed on a 750 and consumed between 30 and 50 percent of that computer's capacity. We do have a MicroVAX available that I suspect could carry the load. Can anyone tell me if the MicroVAX has at least the capacity of the original VAX 750. The application is written in FORTRAN and it uses a Xyplex terminal server for lots of serial I/O. Any thoughts on putting an I/O intensive application on a MicroVAX?
Thanks for your time.

Re: FT810 substitute
Other than a MicroVAX I, however, practically
any of them could probably beat a VAX 11/750.
Very old disks could be a problem on a very
old system. A more complete and detailed
hardware inventory might be helpful.

Re: FT810 substitute
I did not know about the different versions of MicroVAXes but will check that out and try both computers.
Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Re: FT810 substitute
I've ported various VAX Fortran code over to Mac OS X; most Fortran is (usually) platform-portable, unless it is laced with platform-specific calls. Porting Fortran code forward from a VAX to a newer version of OpenVMS VAX or to OpenVMS Alpha is rather easier.
There are VUP values posted at the AlphaServer web site.

I'd expect a MicroVAX II with a SCSI disk to
be faster than a 750 in most cases.
