Yes. I was one of the exhibitors at the BSD booth at the Linux-Kongress.
Karsten Merker, one of the Linux-PMAX developers, was relly surprised 
to see my DEC 3k500 running X. We had a litle talk (of about one hour ;-) )
about everything and nothing. When he left, he said that he will install
NetBSD on his DEC 3000. Only reason to do this: To be able to use X on 
this exquisite hardware. 
That X works on DEC 3000 is really a hidden information. 

So we really need a update of the port-alpha pages and perhaps some kind 
person (I am not able to do it at the moment) prepares a install image 
with TCWSCONS kernel...
