Doe anyone have an "owners manual" or technical manual for the KA600 aka
VaxBrick aka Vax 4000-50?
I have most of a Vaxbrick, but I'd sooner run Unix on it that VMS. But I know of no
open-source OS which supports the KA600.
I'd guess most of the internal devices are similar to SCSI or DSSI on high-end
Microvaxes/vaxstations; but that's a guess.
There's a listing on eBay for a lot which includes vaxbricks. I've made an offer
on it, but let the offer expire after finding no open-source drivers. I'm willing to
front purchase of the lot, if others are interested in buying a VaxBrick in a BA213 or BA
215.
