Hi again,
Wasn't there a VAX port of NetBSD once upon a time? I could have
sworn that I heard that it was completed a few months ago, but when
I checked out the ftp.netbsd.org site, I couldn't find anything. I
noticed that a bunch of stuff was in the "arch" directory, including
some form of Sun 3 port, and a directory suspiciously labelled "VAX",
but it was empty. So what's the latest? Was the VAX port ever completed?
Is work still being done on it? Or was it scrapped?
Thanks for any hints....
