DEC used a rather confusing numbering scheme, I gather.

uV-3X00
uV-3100/XX
VaxStation-3100/XX
VaxStation-4000/XX
VAX-4000/XXX

Within the series, it seems to be consistent, with higher numbers for
newer machines, but absolutely no correspondence between series.
I've had to check that 'VMS CPU' list rather often to get things straight.

Ok, I'll soon try that tapeimage on a TK50 tape, although many people
seems to have had trouble with it.
