Yesterday he submitted a bug report (with presumably temporary

Yes Johnny, I've realized that, but a few line above the VAXstations are

Uh... Holm... He was talking about a DECstation 2100 or 3100 here... Not
a VAXstation. :-)

My initial thoughts would be a nice little 3100 or possibly a 2100
with the simple framebuffer, but obviously the goal would be to
support whatever is available.
At least VS3100 M38 and M76 don't work with NetBSD, we realized this approx
a year before. Martin got a machine from me to investigate further, but I
think nothing has happened in this reagard since then.
