Doesn't Ultrix support early models of the VAXstation 3100? I don't
believe it supports any model in the 4000 series. I honestly don't
know, the tapes I have are V1 or V2, and only support MicroVAX I & II
systems. I've only tried to run Ultrix on MIPS-based DECstation
5000/133 (the system was actually purchased to run NetBSD). As I've
said before, I like my Unix nice and fast, and prefer to run
interesting OS's on PDP-11's, VAXen, and Alpha's. If it's a VAX, it
should be running VMS.

I've
been thinking about some of the later versions of Research Unix,
such as v9 and v10. If I could track down install tapes/disks, would I
be able to run it on my VAXstation 4000-60? It seems that post-v7
didn't spread very far, so I guess I won't be too surprised if nobody
knows :(
To the best of my knowledge the first Unix varient to support a VAXstation
4000 was NetBSD.
