  Some of the components are interchangeable...But bear in mind that
the 11/750 processor cabinet is the size of a washing machine, and an
11/780 is *large*...like 5 feet tall, 5 feet wide, 3 feet deep.

  NetBSD/vax does *not* support the 11/730.  Period.  The 11/750 cpu
is very, very different from the '730.  There may, however, be support
for the '730 in the future.
