Vax 6000-310

Main question I had, does this require a console machine to get
running? like the Professional 380 which is badged as "Vax Console"?
No. The 6000-series just has a serial console.
I've used these in more than one job, but I never had to open them up
to fix them - they were way more reliable than the older models I
worked on in the 80s and 90s.
Nice machines, good amount of horsepower for the era, easy to
upgrade... I just live way too far away to consider attempting to get
it.
It's also overkill for a single-user workstation. ;-)
