I'm guessing that most people with have a VAX that needs one of these
consoles actually have one. Mine came from a scrapper, and he'd already
gutted the VAX.

On a Pro380 the OS that I'd find the most interesting would be P/OS for the
simple fact it only runs there :^) Venix falls into the same catagory, but
I don't have any real interest in running Unix on DEC HW.
