I got my "4.4BSD is complete" letter today, complete with check-boxes for which binary architecture I'd like. The choices are the hp300, the DECstation (MIPS) boxes, and Sparcstation I/II. There was some work done with 4.4/VAX here, but we decided to move to 386's as a more cost-effective solution. Paul Vixie was working on the VAX VM stuff as well, but I never heard back if he got it working.
