Gosh you don't mean an old MicroVax3100 do you, Nah ! Prolly an DecStation3100(MIPS), right ? I know the 5000 you mention is a MIPS box.
Heck, I have an DS2100 sitting next to me & a DS5200 on top o'that . I remember hearing about a port to the MIPS but don't remember which Rx000 it was to.

Please do., I for one am willing to take on the onerous task of porting Linux-Vax.
Have you by chance seen an FAQ/README/etc... on the caveats & gotcha's ... ? Any Help appreciated, JimL _________________________________________ | James W.
