nifty. tahoe on a 3800 is pretty cool. i have that running (tahoe on a 
ka650 box basically), it is really zippy and pretty nice. my hacked up 
tahoe running on a vax 4600 is still flaky in a lot of ways.. mostly problems
dealing with interrupts when probing the qbus.. i havent had time to 
figure it out. when i first got it running, i got it running in a way 
that stopped workign as soon as i took a card out! *sigh*

hahahah very cool. sounds like me! (the menagerie of old unix and lisp 
machines hehe) (http://www.vaxpower.org/~isildur/computers.html for much 
of my current collection, yes theres even a lisp machine!)
