If I can help, let me know; Suns have been the closest thing I have to
a specialty, and I know a fair bit about VAXen as well, especially the
MicroVAX-II.  (However, this is mostly hardware and low-level software
knowledge; I can't, for example, help you with Solaris or recent VMS.)

I don't think NetBSD really works on the MicroVAX-II any longer; the
"16M is too tiny to even think about supporting" voices have gotten too
strong.  Suns with a 64M or more should Just Work; the -3/60 maxes out
at 24M, which is plenty for me, but I run 1.4T.
