Yes, I have, but only under Ultrix though. It's a normal CVAX, like
the MV3900 or MV3100/m38. It has XMI bus, which is currently unsupported.
I have never tried to boot NetBSD on it, and it would be of no use
anyway because no peripherals would be supported...

And yes, its rather big compared to a Vaxstation. About 5 feet high and
three feet wide. It uses 3-phase power.
