Hello, all... I am trying to find out if the following platform is supported
by any port of NetBSD..

     "  Our VAX is a little number called a Microvax 3800 (in strict DEC 
     parlance it is a 380T1-AA). It consists of a KA655-AA cpu, 32MB of 
     MS650-BA memory, a DESQA-SA Ethernet adapter and a KFQSA-SA DSSI bus 
     controller which supports 3 RF72E-SF disks (1GB ea.). We also have a 
     whole bunch of serial lines, primarily CXA16-M modules. The system has 
     a TK70 console tape drive which is the usual load medium for this 
     class of machine. We also can support 8mm cartridge tape and also (in 
     a pinch) 1600-3200-6250 BPI nine track tape (yeccch!)
     
     We are presently running OpenVMS VAX Version V5.5-2."

I am at wit's end reading FAQs and HOWTOs, and I don't really know enough
about VAX systems in general to ask a literate question in terms of data
busses, tapes, and so on, so I got one of my compadres to write up the above
for me.  Please reply in general, whether it be it does, it doesn't, I have
seen the following, or whatever.  Thanks Muchly!!
