Um, I've got a *Better* idea. Add some more RAM to the 3000/300, I believe
it takes 72-pin True Parity RAM (at least the 3000/300LX does) and cluster
it to the VS3100 (run it headless). The 3000/300 is dog slow, but is still
faster than the VAX even with only 64MB.

DEC made a cable just for this, I'm not sure where to get one though.
