I picked up a VAXstation 2100 over the weekend. It looks like a
full-height hard drive but has a secret. If I can figure out a way to
operate it without a display/keyboard (not sure where my vax keyboards
are), I may get it up and running--looks like NetBSD runs on it. 

Hmmm. Appears that the printer port is where I want to go. Anyone have
experience with these and have advice as I read through the various web
pages?

Cool photos at http://www.obsolyte.com/dec/ for the curious. I'm not sure
if I misremembered the model plate or if there's a diff between 2000 and
2100. Haven't gotten it back out of the car yet. :)
