Imagine root on nfs, swap on sd0b? I imagine 70mb of swap should be 
sufficient for a 1 MIPS machine. 

I personally have 3 MicroVAX-II machines sitting here in pieces because I
don't see much point in messing with machines I don't have drives for.

Now, if I could net-boot these things, perhaps I could get this 8-bit color
graphics card working....

Then again, David Case's 3100's for $75 sounds pretty good.....

Hmmmmm.
