System Industries "SIMACS"

[Haral Tsitsivas]

I have had a System Industries salesman call on me last July about SIMACS,
and again about a month ago.  From what I hear they are in Beta test right
now, and expected to finish Beta test in late November.  It seems like
a great idea if it would work as advertised.  You could connect a controller 
with up to 8 VAXens (each 9920 controller has 8 drives) which allows you to
distribute load among your VAXes easier.  Of course you still have
a system disk on each VAX for booting and /.  I would like
a technical person from SI to confirm the release time though, since
timing information may be wrong with the sales force.
