Will VAXELN even run on a 3100 or a 4000? I thought it was limited to Q-Bus
systems, but won't be surprised if I'm wrong.
I have come across a VAXELN image for a VAXStation 2000 which I think
implemented some sort of X Terminal on it.
(While not Q-Bus based, at least some of the VAX 4000 range do have facilities
attach Q-Bus periperals.)

Peter Coghlan.

It runs on any VAX. However its not a OS. Its closer to a IO subsystem
and scheduling
package (RTOS). Like many RTOS packages the basic system is fairly
useless and not
a user environment. Its used to make real time systems. Examples that
used it were
LPS40(qbus), LPS20(not Q), LPS32(not Q) and the terminal software for
the VS2000
The LPS32 was a very cool printer. The company I worked for at the time
managed to kill one - the field circus guys came in on a weekend and
replaced just about every moving part in the printer. They told us the
only customer they had that did a higher print volume was GM. They
practically insisted we get a second one in order to lighten the load. :)
(the company audited & paid freight bills for the likes of Intel,
Microsoft, 3M, and other high-tech, high shipping volume companies)
