I read in an article in the September MIPS Magazine about the DECstation 3100 and 2100. My first questions is that they stated that it was running Sys V Unix, Did the the mean ULTRIX? They also stated that it would outperform most 33 MHZ 386 machines running Xenix, What kind of degradation ( if any ) would I see if I ran it under VMS.

The DS3100/DS2100 are *not* VAX systems. They are use the R2000A from MIPS and so they do not run VMS.
