Heyhey - if we can do it - lets! A VAX is a VAX :&)
I suspect the hard part is interfacing the lot with the outside world, but
it would be a fantastic beast to have.
Plus if it was a true implementation as far as software was concerned,
you're not just limited to NetBSD - the VMS/OpenBSD/Linux guys could all
play too. :&)
