        I've collated some of the postings on this list, with information
	from Paul Hardy's "VMS CPU Model Summary", and the results are
	given below. I'm intending to put this up on www.netbsd.org, but I
	hope it can be filled in a little more!


Questions: What is the name of the cases for the various machines?
	BA123 etc, and what are those dimensions.
	Can anyone fill in more CPU details
	Any more info on any machine welcomed. Particularly confirming
	NetBSD compatability or not, interfaces, memory capacity, etc.
	email to <abs@netbsd.org> (or just <port-vax@netbsd.org>)
