1. 256 MB is not bad.
2. This machine eats ordinary PeeCee DIMMs, PC100, 3.3V, unbuffered, 
   ECC, max. module size 256MB in pairs of identical DIMMs.
   Additional 512MB for my 500au cost about 140,-EUR last October.
3. OpenVMS is free for hobbyists. You must be DECUS member, than 
   you can get a free licence.

Look for a VAX 4000/1xx or a MicroVAX 3100/9x or a VAXstation 4000/9x.
Desktop machines, the first two have a QBus adapter, but no frame
buffer, vice versa for the VAXstation. QBus cards go in an additional
desk side cabinet.
