I've got a uVAX II, with a fair amount of non-DEC equipment (disks, memory,
terminal controllers) and there have been no problems that I have seen.

Of course, you may want to wait for the 4.1 release, considering that it is
a full upgrade at the moment.  I'm going to stay with 4.0 until either a
patch tape comes out or there's a serious reason for doing a complete
reinstall.
