Morrow Tricep as UNIX machine: Users comments wanted

[Kim Wallen {Psychology}]

One of the faculty here is interested in purchasing a Morrow Tricep
to use as a multiuser UNIX system (maximum of 8 users).  He is
getting flak from the computer center concerning the reliability of
the hardware.  We would like responses from anyone with Tricep
experience.  Is is robust and reliable.  Does UNIX work well on it.
Can it be expanded to handle 8 users?

As important, is there any other system in the price range ($9,000
for 20mbytes, 1meg ram and 4 users) which is better.  Dec has systems
that seem better, but are $16-20k when priced out.
