(DEC 7000 is in fact what I’m working on.)

Suspected as much. A bit surprised any machines are still around. Update had one, but we got rid of it many years ago when we needed to shrink our collection. We do have a VAX 7800 still around. One of the things sometimes in the back of my head that I wanted to work on NetBSD support for, but never been able to find the time, and now the machine is in deep storage, so unlikely that I will ever be able to fire it up again.

It's at LSSM; we got it running last week. It sits next to our VAX-7000. I installed VMS on it today; it will be available on HECnet as BIGAXP 61.55 whenever it's up. (I owe you a whole slew of address assignments..)

Eventually we hope for it to be a triple-boot machine: VMS, Tru64, and NetBSD.

  It has four 200MHz 21064s and 1.5GB of RAM.
