I don't know who wrote the original message on the VLC so this goes to the
list, perhaps other collectors will find it useful.

The VLC is the "ideal" VAX these days for a couple of reasons:
        1) It runs both NetBSD and OpenVMS with reasonable speed.
        2) It takes standard RAM so can easily be upgraded to its max (24MB)
        3) It can run either "headless" as a server or using its on board
           peripherals it can run as a "workstation."
        4) It has a standard SCSI interface so that it use cheap SCSI disks
           that are also plentiful. (1GB is plenty for either NetBSD or OpenVMS)
        5) ... and finally, as it is in the BA10 case it takes up the least
           amount of space of any vax!

So, all in all it is the ideal VAX in my opinion.
