 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 already have VMS on my Alpha and the VAX; if I can't get Research
Unix on the VAX, I'll stay with VMS. The later additions to Research
Unix evolved in some interesting directions which eventually led to
Plan 9, the OS I develop for at work. I'd love to find a Blit
(AT&T/Teletype model 5620) terminal and a VAX capable of running v10;
that was a brilliant system.
