		The first offering in the VAX 6000 series was the midrange VAX 6200, which was built on three key technologies: the Digital CMOS VLSI VAX processor (the CVAX chip), a symmetric multiprocessing hardware and software environment, and the VAXBI I/O interconnect.

		Digital released VMS version 5.0 in concert with the VAX 6200. VMS V 5.0 included symmetric multiprocessing, which provided a high degree of parallelism and more effective use of multiprocessors.

		DECtp was a systems environment that integrated the functions required to build large-scale transaction processing applications, effectively enabling Digital systems to process up to 100 transactions per second.
