For example I know that in the time frame when "Cuckoo's Egg" happened we were right in the middle of the model series that DEC happened to be building. But that the BSD release that ran on those was from the 4 series. The first VAX was the VAX-11/780, which was announced in late 1977 and shipped in early 1978, if memory serves.
