        5.4 is pretty old. The current version is 7.x.

        The VS3100's will also run Ultrix (DEC's awful Unix port) and NetBSD (A
much better choice, IMO).

        Info on the hardware can be found at:

        Info on NetBSD can be had from www.netbsd.org

        Best of luck. Those are nice little machines.
