Indeed, on Quasijarus the GENERIC config file only supports (see
https://github.com/abs0/4.3BSD-Quasijarus/blob/main/sys/conf/GENERIC.vax):
cpu             "VAX8600"
cpu             "VAX8200"
cpu             "VAX780"
cpu             "VAX750"
cpu             "VAX730"
cpu             "VAX630"
cpu             "VAX650"

I think the only Unix to ever support the VLC was NetBSD, or maybe some
versions of OpenBSD did too?
