Sorry, no. The m76 has a Rigel. It isn't even similar to the
VS4k. The
VS4k machines have different Ethernet (SGEC insted of LANCE) and SCSI
(asc insted of NCR).
VS4k VLC has SOC
VS4k60 has Mariah
VS4k90 and above have NVAX
MV4k200 has SOC
MV3k100m40 has SOC
MV3k100m8x has Mariah
VAX4k300 has Rigel
VAX4k400 and above as well as VAX4k1xx and MV3k100m9x have NVAX.

Specifically I
wonder whether it would run on a KA43 (VS3100 M76).
Most likely not, because the
-M76 is an NVAX box similar to the 4000
series machines It might run on the 3100-M38, although I believe
that's a "non" 3100, too.
VS3100 m30/38/40/48 are almost identical.
The only differences are the
enclosure and speed.
I would assume that they kept the CPU
support library as small as possible, meaning only the generic series
of machines they "sortof" intended the VXT software set for, i.e. the
2000, 3100 and alike systems and their hardware features (as needed.)
Looks so. It
seams to support only NMOS-VAX (VS2k), CVAX (VS3100
m30/38/40/48) and maybe SOC. I think SOC is the CPU in the VXT2k.
