Hardware Documentation - Machines DEC - VAX hardware reference
This is an (incomplete) list of Digital Equipment Corporation VAX computers and specifications. Compiled by abs@NetBSD.org with much help from port-vax@NetBSD.org users. This is very much still a work in progress - many sections are little more than placeholders. Having said that, there should be enough here to prove useful.

VAXservers
(Previous - VAXstations) (Next - VAX 700 series) (Main Index) (All Indexes)
VAXserver 3100 KA41-B VAXserver 3100 KA41-E VAXserver 3600 VAXserver 3602 VAXserver 3900 VAXserver 3100 KA41-B <small><ulink url="#section:vaxservers">(VAXservers index)</ulink></small>
Nickname: (?) Cpu: KA41-B, CVAX (90ns), 1KB on chip cache, (32KB external cache?)
Vup: 2.4-2.8 (??) Tps: 19
NetBSD: Can run NetBSD Last updated: 2003-07-17
Notes: Created either by replacing EPROM in a MicroVAX 3100 M10 / MicroVAX 3100 M20, or flicking switch on VAXstation 3100 M30 / VAXstation 3100 M40 (?)
 VAXserver 3100 KA41-E <small><ulink url="#section:vaxservers">(VAXservers index)</ulink></small>

Vup: 3.5 Tps: 22 (? maybe 30?)
NetBSD: Can run NetBSD Last updated: 2003-07-17
Notes: Created either by replacing EPROM in a MicroVAX 3100 M10e / MicroVAX 3100 M20e, or flicking switch on VAXstation 3100 M38 / VAXstation 3100 M48 (?)
