Note that for VAXstation 3100s (and other early small SCSI VAXes) you need to
have a system drive smaller than 1.07GB
for VMS because VMS doesn't do partitions and the VAXstation 3100 VMB firmware
only does 6-byte SCSI commands.
*BSD will work as long as the root partition is kept to 1GB or smaller.

Hobbyist license is best unless you have several thousand $$ that you can't
come up with another use for.
