The MicroVAX 3100 M30 & M40 use the same CPU as the VAXstation
4000 VLC, and are nearly 5 times the speed of the original 11/780.
Its a pity NetBSD doesnt support it yet :(
Hmmm, given that last I heard Ragge's 8600 died leaving him only a
11/785 for compilation, is anyone interested in clubbing together
to get a relatively small/fast vaxstation out to him to speed up
his compiles? Maybe if we pick something thats not currently
supported we can persuade him to port NetBSD to it as well? :)
I picked up a VAXstation 3100/M38 a few weeks ago (3.8VUPS), I
need to confirm that it works, its the only vax machine I have in
the country, plus its already supported... but if it would help
I'd be happy to ship it...
Ragge - would you like some small vaxstation? :)
