Vax Station 5000/200 with 32Megs (?) $5
<snip>
Can someone tell me more about the VAX? I know nothing
about these things.
Either point me to a good faq or a manual or just tell me how to check this
thing out...I searched the net and after 20 minutes found close to nothing
about this thing...the compaq site is a maze....

It's not a VAX. Unless I'm mistaken it says DECstation 5000/200 on the
front badge. It's a MIPS based system that was built to run Ultrix, and at
least NetBSD has been ported to it (I think Linux and OpenBSD also). The
NetBSD site I referenced above seems to have the most info on these things.
