Well, I went back to check the thing (the surplus pit is a block off
the back of my lab and the folks know me there quite well  (:+}}...).

Here are the numbers off the machine backside.

H9F00-AA F01
7HAMA-XA B02

Also, I relooked at the surplus tag on it, and it appears that
it was listed on the books as a DEC 7000.  Does that indicate it
is actually and Alpha rather than a VAX?  That might explain why
its disks booted on my Alpha 3000/300 box.

IF so, how good/fast/usable might it be for NetBSD, and anyone know
if anyone is doing anything to port to the critter?

Thanks

Bob

p.s. I bounced this to both the VAX and Alpha lists, in case anyone
     might help identify this supposedly VAX 7000 or DEC 7000 critter.
