How well can the so-called "desktop vaxen" run 4.3 BSD?  I'm thinking
about systems like the MicroVAX 2000, etc.  I'd like to set up a
system to run some sort of 4.3 system (maybe Michael Sokolov's
Quasijarus distribution) and I've noticed the occasional desktop vax
show up in places like eBay.  Is it possible to avoid the hernia and
use one of these "2nd floor apartment-friendly" computers?
