Any?  No, not any.  But any of the more recent releases should
run on it.  Reviewing my collection of SPDs it appears that UWS
V1.2 (based on ULTRIX V2.3) was probably the first version of
ULTRIX to support the VAXstation 3200.  Before this the system
will probably panic early in the boot because it doesn't recognize
the CPU type.

The current version of ULTRIX is V4.3.
