You can turn the uVAX 2000 into a VS2000 by changing a jumper on the system board.

Uhm. The power supply comes up REAL quick after powerup :)
Given the
DMA structure of the VS2000 SCSI port, connecting
disks to that port will be dramatically slow.
So which aspect of the VS2000 would you describe
as fast then :-) Actually, when used as an Xterm (by booting the
VAXELN based
VXT code - or its predecessor) it was not too bad. At least,
compared to what was available then!
I would if I could, you (censored).

Seriously.. I'd like to see the graphics on the 2000, but I lack
the keyboard/mouse thingie. I believe there's a cable that ends
in a little box, in which you could plug the mouse and keyboard,
much like the one used with the DS5000 series.
I _do_ have two 2000's, soo..
(one MicroVAX 2000, and one VAXserver 2000.. anyone in NL have a
VAXstation 2000 for me? :)
