BTW check out the MicroVAX Systems FAQ page at
http://anacin.nsc.vcu.edu/~jim/mvax/mvax_faq.html if you're feeling
nostalgic. (Some of the old Mach work I did was on an old MicroVAX II -
with a really chirpy (noisy) disk. Kernel makes took FOREVER, even if
you changed just a single .c file...)
And just for grins (look ma, no cache!!!):
