Hi,
I have a VXT at home, pretty sure it's a VXT2000..
The VXT software is on the COMPAQ website, you need to know that the
downloadable files are VAX save sets.
http://www.openvms.compaq.com/freeware/FREEWARE50/VXT
As for running an OS on it,
Inside the box it looks like a vax CPU etc.. , besides the VXT X server
software runs mostly OK on an old vaxstation 3100 I have.. so they
can't be too different!!!..
[ OTOH, If I recall correctly ,they lack HW floating point support... ]
Cheers,
Steve
