Well, when looking back, I'd think that one might remember the latest version of 
any line of computers.  For example, the VAXstation 4000 line had multiple 
versions of the NVAX CPU, and the 90A I referenced was a later, but not the 
latest, version.  The model 96 was the last and best.

Not that I have any use for one, but I've always desired to acquire a MicroVAX 
3100 model 98.  Same CPU as the VAXstation 4000 model 96.
