Yup. Checked both. An interesting bug is that 'halt' doesn't "work" on the
VLC. The system reboots. 

Another question, does anyone know the equivalent of 'test 50' on the VLC?
Mine has 24MB of memory and a frame buffer of some sort but I don't know
which. Also does the VLC require an external SCSI terminator? I've not
pulled the disk to check to see if it has the terminator installed but I'm
guessing it doesn't. Finally, when I type SHOW MEM on the VLC it shows 24MB
and then mentions a range that isn't available. Is this a bad SIMM or is it
normal? The kernel reports 24MB of memory about 19MB available on boot.
