Good lucky, I was lucky that mine came with one when I bought it from Compaq.  
I was not so lucky in that the system lacks enough RAM to run OpenVMS.  I’m 
glad to hear that OpenBSD supports it again.  For a while it was running 
OpenBSD, and acting as my firewall, then they shipped a releases of OpenBSD 
without support for it.  At that point I moved to UltraSparc.
