Well, I guess any information is good for something, even if this was 
very little information or help.

Suspected as much. A bit surprised any machines are still around. Update 
had one, but we got rid of it many years ago when we needed to shrink 
our collection. We do have a VAX 7800 still around. One of the things 
sometimes in the back of my head that I wanted to work on NetBSD support 
for, but never been able to find the time, and now the machine is in 
deep storage, so unlikely that I will ever be able to fire it up again.
