Hardware Documentation - Machines DEC - VAX hardware reference
This is an (incomplete) list of Digital Equipment Corporation VAX computers and specifications. Compiled by abs@NetBSD.org with much help from port-vax@NetBSD.org users. This is very much still a work in progress - many sections are little more than placeholders. Having said that, there should be enough here to prove useful. |
VAXserver 3100 KA41-B (VAXservers index)
Nickname: | (?) | Cpu: | KA41-B, CVAX (90ns), 1KB on chip cache, (32KB external cache?) |
---|---|---|---|
Vup: | 2.4-2.8 (??) | Tps: | 19 |
NetBSD: | Can run NetBSD | Last updated: | 2003-07-17 |
Notes: | Created either by replacing EPROM in a MicroVAX 3100 M10 / MicroVAX 3100 M20, or flicking switch on VAXstation 3100 M30 / VAXstation 3100 M40 (?) |
VAXserver 3100 KA41-E (VAXservers index)
Nickname: | (?) | Cpu: | KA41-E, CVAX+ (60ns), 1KB on chip cache, (32KB on chip cache) |
---|---|---|---|
Vup: | 3.5 | Tps: | 22 (? maybe 30?) |
NetBSD: | Can run NetBSD | Last updated: | 2003-07-17 |
Notes: | Created either by replacing EPROM in a MicroVAX 3100 M10e / MicroVAX 3100 M20e, or flicking switch on VAXstation 3100 M38 / VAXstation 3100 M48 (?) |
VAXserver 3600 (VAXservers index)
Nickname: | Mayfair (?) | Cpu: | KA650, CVAX (90ns), 1KB on chip cache, 64KB external cache |
---|---|---|---|
Vup: | 2.8 (?) | Tps: | 21 (?) |
Bus: | Q-bus (?) | Memory: | Maximum 64MB (4 boards) (?) |
Enclosure: | BA213 | NetBSD: | Can run NetBSD |
Last updated: | 2003-07-17 | ||
Notes: | Appears to be identical to the MicroVAX 3600 (specs copied across), and VAXserver 3602 |
VAXserver 3602 (VAXservers index)
Nickname: | Mayfair (?) | Cpu: | KA650, CVAX chip @ 90ns, 64KB external cache (?) |
---|---|---|---|
Vup: | (?) | Tps: | (?) |
Bus: | Q-bus | Memory: | (?) |
Enclosure: | 2 * BA213 | NetBSD: | Can run NetBSD |
Last updated: | 1998-01-25 | ||
Notes: | Effectively two VAXserver 3600 (or MicroVAX 3600) CPU boxes sharing a single RA82 |
VAXserver 3900 (VAXservers index)
Nickname: | (?) | Cpu: | KA655, CVAX+ (60ns), 1KB on chip cache, 64KB external cache (120ns) |
---|---|---|---|
Vup: | 3.8 | Tps: | 30 |
Bus: | Q-bus, DSSI bus (Max 3.3MB/s) | Enclosure: | H9644 system cabinet |
Interfaces: | 1 or 2 ethernet | Memory: | Maximum 64MB (ECC) |
NetBSD: | Can run NetBSD | Last updated: | 2003-07-17 |
Notes: | same as MicroVAX 3900? |
