Uhm. The power supply comes up REAL quick after powerup :)

I would if I could, you (censored).

Seriously.. I'd like to see the graphics on the 2000, but I lack
the keyboard/mouse thingie. I believe there's a cable that ends
in a little box, in which you could plug the mouse and keyboard,
much like the one used with the DS5000 series.

I _do_ have two 2000's, soo..

(one MicroVAX 2000, and one VAXserver 2000.. anyone in NL have a
VAXstation 2000 for me? :)
