Hint: http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/vax/history.html

I started hacking the VAX port on 0.9, but it did never really run 
reliable until after 1.0 was out. Hence the 1.0A dist floating around.
The letter changes were much more sparse back then, so this was something
like 5 months after the 1.0 release.
IIRC Rick Macklem wrote the MicroVAX II support in January -95.
