I have a DECstation 5810. I don't have any documentation, but from what
I've heard the only documentation that would be necessary would be for the
xmi CPU boards. The rest of the system is identical to a VAX 6000-200. I
will be getting Ultrix running on it sometime soon (within the next week
or so), so I would not be averse to giving another developer access to
it. I only have Ultrix 4.2a, so I would appreciate if someone could get
me a copy of a newer version either on CD or on TK50/TK70.
Peace... Sridhar
