This is fantastic news! I have a special fondness for the VAXstation 2000 as
it was the first VAX I ever used and I end up owning a stack of them some
years ago. I picked one up more recently but have been unable to find
certain parts for it, e.g. mono KVM cable and an MFM disk.

I'll watch out for the X11 version as give it a go as soon as it's
available.
