1073.0. "Question from Internet" by QUIVER::STEFANI (Have the # for the Mars Observer?) Thu Aug 26 1993 14:16

    This note was posted in the comp.dcom.lans.fddi Internet newsgroup. 
    Does anyone know the answer to the question for the DEC MicroVAX II?
    It's not just a matter of empty slots, but how many controllers the
    drivers support.  I'll post the answer to the newsgroup.
    
    Thanks,
       Larry
