Hi,
Could anyone please provide a working snapshot of -current, that has
VAX4000-100 support? I tried arch/vax on ftp.netbsd.org but the
snapshot dir was empty. I ask because a friend and me just got our first
DSSI machines, a rather large VAX 4000-300 cluster (See 

http://home.iae.nl/users/pb0aia/vax/hapert/index.html 

for some quick pics) and we want to get DSSI working. We think the best
machine to start with developing a DSSI driver on is the -100 because that 
one has both SCSI and DSSI controllers, so you can work off one while 
testing the other. Ultimately we want to get a VAX4000-700 working 
too. Are the DSSI controllers on the -100, -300 and the -700 fundamentally 
the same?

When finished, the cluster will be running the new VAXarchive main site,
hopefully from DSSI, but it has, next to the DSSI drives, also a KDA50 
and RA90's, so we have a fallback solution :)

And we are not worrying about power consumption :)

It would save a lot of time if we could get a snapshot we can put on
the 4000-100 so we have one working machine to start with. So I hope
someone can put up a current snapshot somewhere.
Thanks!
Kees.
