I have recently borrowed a DEC VT1300 X-terminal... I have searched around
the net without finding much info about it, but I read several
places that this is almost a VAX 3100... Is there any hope on
running NetBSD on this box?
As far as I can tell, it's a vax 3100 with a different graphics card.
I once got Ultrix to install and boot on a 1300 (using RIS), but once
Ultrix was running it would only talk to the net and to the serial
ports -- it had no support for the video that the 1300 used. (I don't
remember whether it could talk to the SCSI bus)
Hm... I suggest you subscribe to and discuss this on the
port-vax@netbsd.org mailing list. Information about subscribing is
available by sending an invalid request to majordomo@netbsd.org.
