Ultrix stopped supporting VAX with CVAX.  NetBSD/vax supports later systems like the VS4000s that are still quite zippy systems.  A VS4000/96 is a really nice box.

This is where retrocomputing NetBSD style shines.  

The nice thing about old hardware is that bad design choice will likely be more visible on them than current machines which are orders of magnitude faster.
