Subject: BTW, the VAX-7000 doesn't run any UNIX, Isildur

I just looked at your 7000 auction. It's a nice machine, I hope
everyone on this list is nice and doesn't outbit their friends
(the only reason why I submit bids early is to allow others here
the same kind of nicity :-).
But, since I know you are not a VMS guy, Isildur, be aware that
the 7000 doesn't run any UNIX: no ULTRIX, no NetBSD and I think
no OSF/1 or Digital UNIX, etc. And getting it there isn't easy
because it's XMI (well that's perhaps the easy part) but more it's
hybrid nature with the Alpha.
so, good luck.
