I'd say that's probably a bit too expensive for a VAXstation I :-).  But
it would also depend on the amount of RAM, the graphics, the disks, the
enclosure, and how badly you want a machine of that caliber.

Based on past discussions, I don't think the port would be too difficult.
The system is closest in functionality to the VAXstation/MicroVAX II.
