I guess the 25th anniversary has already happened -- there was even a
nice history of DEC computing published at that time as it coincided with
the 50th anniversary of the company itself. That's for VAX in general,
rather than a specific implementation, though.

Anyway I second the question, although I have a bit more interest in this
area these days and I may push the merge myslef if nobody else bothers.
