. Hardware supported by NetBSD/vax \*V includes (but may not be limited to): l -tag -width indent -offset indent t Em CPU types: VAX 11/750, VAX 11/78{0,5}, VAX 8200/8250/8300/8350, VAX 8600/8650, MicroVAX II, MicroVAX III, MicroVAX 3600/3800/3900, MicroVAX 3300/3400/3500, MicroVAX 2000/VAXstation 2000, VAXstation 3100 model 30,38,40,48,76, MicroVAX 3100 (partly) and VAXstation 4000/60. t Em Networking: DEUNA/DELUA Unibus ethernet, DEQNA/DELQA Q22 bus ethernet, and LANCE chip where available. t Em Serial lines: DHU11/DHV11/DL11/DLV11/DZ11/DZQ11/DZV11 Unibus/Q22 bus asynchronous lines and DZ11-compatible lines on VAXstations. t Em Disks: UDA50 Unibus MSCP controller, KDA50/RQDX1/2/3 Q22 bus MSCP controller, KDB50 BI-bus MSCP controller, MFM and SCSI controllers on VAXstations, RP04/05/06/07 and RM02/03/05/80 Massbus disks, and Console RL02 on VAX 8600.

p Some third-party controllers are also known to work, other do not. t Em Tapes: TMSCP on Q22 bus (TK50/70, TU81), TMSCP on BI bus and SCSI tapes on VAXstations. t Em Floppy: RX33/RX50 on RQDX controllers. RX50 on VAX 8200. .El

p The minimal configuration requires 2M of RAM and ~40MB of disk space, but the installation requires at least 4MB RAM and you probably do not want to run with anything less than that.

p Here is a table of recommended HD partition sizes for a full install:
