<1) There are lots of resources out there featuring VAX information; you mig
<look at the NetBSD/vax port website (http://www.netbsd.org/Ports), the VAXa
<(http://vaxarchive.org), and Hamster's Digital Resources site, which can be

Yes many of them are excellent!

<2) I don't believe there is any sort of hobbyist distribution of Ultrix, ho

Ultrix was never released and I suspect never will. My guess is it has a
lot of the ATT/BSD code that was encumbered.

<3) All microVAX systems use some variety of serial terminal for a system co
<(although I believe it has to be VT100 compatible, so I'm not sure how usef
<ADM terminal will be). VAXstation systems are the ones that use monitors a
<consoles, however it is possible to get them to run over a serial console a
<using a few different methods depending on which model you have.

For those that don't have a video console the terminal only has to be
serial 9600/8/n/1 and supports Xon/Xoff meaning most anything works though
some aren't pretty. The terminal can be hard copy such as the LA100KSR.
