I also have DECstation5000/50 at hand and 1.6 works well on it.
It seems a kind of clock calibration error.  It sounds strange because
4MAXINE (5000/50) and 4MIN (5000/150) share the identical CPU
module and identical SCSI/DMA circuit.  Need more feedback from
4MIN users.

This message is misleading.   NetBSD/pmax has HZ (time slice) = 256Hz
from the its beginning and never settled 100Hz.
