Vaxstation 3100

I just came out ahead on a Vaxstation 3100 from E-Bay, having skipped
the MicroVax3300...

Looks like it's a 3100 Model 38... can someone point me to video
pinouts, monitor specs etc since it's coming CPU box only.

I'm wondering if it will drive any of the Sun Sparcstation monitors
without a problem (or a modern multisync). At worst I'll run it
with a VT100 (or 320 if I can find an MMJ cable).

As soon as it arrives I plan to load it with VAX/VMS from the
non-commercial hobby distribution... I'm wondering if I should
check to see if there are any licenses and software on the box
first. Any suggestions?

Can this machine boot off a second drive -- I'd like to put
NetBSD up on an external drive.

Any pointers to FAQs and info on this machine would be appreciated.
I left DEC after the MicroVax II and 8650 so I have no info on this machine.

Boy, will it be good to see VAX/VMS again.
