I have searched around the net without finding much info about it, but I read several places that this is almost a VAX 3100... Is there any hope on running NetBSD on this box? As far as I can tell, it's a vax 3100 with a different graphics card. I once got Ultrix to install and boot on a 1300 (using RIS), but once Ultrix was running it would only talk to the net and to the serial ports -- it had no support for the video that the 1300 used. (I don't remember whether it could talk to the SCSI bus) So NetBSD might run on the beast if you replace the graphics card.
