BTW, you may just want to use a serial console on this system as you can
get an old laptop or other very low power devices to serve as a terminal
device.  I've got some friends who use their Psion's as low power VT100
emulators.  I'm uncertain as to whether there are any graphics support for
the VS4000 series yet unless they've got onboard mono capabilities like
the VS3100s do.

The problem was with the VS3100 second stage bootloader not being able to
use systems with memory greater than 16Megs.  This is no longer a problem,
you can netboot with more than 16Megs.  Your lance ethernet will work, but
there's no SCSI support for the VS4000.

I think you mean:  "My other minicomputer is not a car."
