Presumably VMS, since I can get that through
Encompass; I signed up a

IIRC LTIC NetBSD doesn't run on it. Is it too new for a 4BSD?
LTIC?
4BSD developement on the VAX stoped at the late 4.3BSD age. Once I got
4.3BSD-Reno running on MV 3900 (KA655) and AFAIK this was the last CSRG
BSD release with working VAX support as 4.4BSD/VAX is broken. Reno was
at the time of the VAX6k...
There are some bits of VAX6k / XMI support in NetBSD, but it is very
likely that it is not enough to get NetBSD running on a VAX6k. It seams
that the lack of VAX6k support in NetBSD is mainly caused by
insufficient docs about XMI. I know that they have lots of VAX6k
machines at northern Sweden where the NetBSD/VAX portmaster lives...
