It's probably worth mentioning that the VS3100's don't netboot with more
than 16Megs of RAM.  :-/   At least not yet.

I prefer the terminology Ultra-CISC to describe the VAX architecture.
It's far more fashionable than vanilla CISC.  The Ultra just gives it
that late 90's flavor of marketing hipness.  

"Check out my wickedly complex Ultra-CISC MicroVAX II.  Bet your Pentium
II 300MHz can't crank out 0.9 VUPS like this baby can!  RISC is passe,
Ultra-CISC is where it's at man."
