If it were, it would already run NetBSD. It is the same CPU, but better
graphics, als an absolutely strange memory map. Nothing is there, where you
expect it on a VAXstation. This beast might run NetBSD dickless some day, but
i think, there must be a new bus for it (vxtbus or so), due to absolute
incompatibility to the VAXstation series. This was the result of the research
i did so far. The first define for it is already in NetBSD :-) (The SysID)
