I recently aquired a Vaxstation 3100 m76 w/ 32 megs memory, 660 mb HD,
tape drive, and 17" monitor.  I haven't been able to get this thing to
boot since I got it and am looking for a alternative operating system.
I was pointed to netbsd by someone at digital and this appears to be
my last hope.  The licensing for ULTRIX was over $3,700!!!!!.  Someone
please help me get this old dinosaur going.   I would also appreciate
it if anyone has any old books out there for this computer.

THANKS!
