No, no. I have a 7500, I know what it is. There's a PCI model in
addition to the 7200 with a soldered-on 601. It was either
education-only or non-US-only... the 8200, maybe?

I wasn't even considering the 7500 since any I've encountered
recently have already had an upgrade card in them, but yeah, it too.

I think it is:

grappa:~% ls -l netbsd/601UM.pdf
-rw-r--r--  1 gr  users  3253063 Jan 14 19:05 netbsd/601UM.pdf

I'm not sure it's necessarily the technical reference you had in
mind, but it is 777 pages short. ;^>

True enough. But if NetBSD can do it...
