It changed well over a decade ago, if memory serves. The specific
work was done on a VAX-8300 or -8350. I'm pretty sure the 11/780's
specific flavor of SMP is not supported. (though I do have a pair of
11/785s here...wanna come hack? ;))
If it works, someone should update the documentation. :)
Which flavor of 11/78x MP? The official DEC kind (which is really just two computers with a block of shared memory) or the Purdue kind (which isn't quite SMP, but actually shares the system bus)?
