You need to pickup one (or two) of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/DEC-DIGITAL...mputing_Parts_Accessories&hash=item461eca4c4f
It is a real VAX, about 5 VUPs or so (ie, 5X a 780). IIRC a 730 is 1/3 a VUP.
I have a couple of VLC 4000s, one runs BSD, the other runs OpenVMS.
Just drop in a 1GB or so SCSI drive and you are ready to go.
It's really odd people would go on a vintage computer forum and give someone a hard time for wanting a full sized VAX. Seriously dude. Nobody considers a 4000 VLC a VAX. Nobody. Not even people that like them.
