I only see a VAX 4000 100 being sold on ebay which it isn't mislabeled
as a vaxstation at all.

The VAX 400 100 is documented in the hardware guide:
http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/Hardware/Machines/DEC/vax/vax4000.html#vax4000:vax_4000_m100

I also believe this is a intersting vax because of it is relativly
fast, has SCSI, DSSI and Q-Bus (via external enclosure) support.

The VAXstation 4000 60 Option guide is available online:
http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/SOC/QB003UPF.PDF

You need a DWCTX-BX Turbochannel adapter to be able to add Turbochannel
card. I have no idea where that thing connects in the 4000/60. I
never saw one.
