Hello all,
I am very new to this mail group so forgive the ignorance.  I've been using 
NetBSD quite actively on the 386 platform since 0.9 and now use 1.0 and 
current one in a while.  I have a uVAX II at home running Ultrix 4.0 and am 
interested in doing the BSD thing instead.

Currently:
uVAX II GPX 8 plane option
16 meg of ram
TK-50
RD-54
stock ethernet (DEQNA)

I have access to and want to add some, if not all, of these items...

ACT     10067            Q-bus - Unibus adapter

Question, I was told that this Q-bus - Unibus adapter should be transparent 
since it makes a Unibus just look like an extension of a Q-bus.  If so, then 
can I use devices supported on VAX 730, 750, 780 etc.?  I.e. I have a 
controller for a TU-80 tape/RA-81 disk (400 meg) can I talk to this board, 
and subsequently use my TU-80 and or RA-81?

Also, I read though an old mail pile for this group and saw possible support 
for X on my GPX work station, has this ever been solved?

So many questions, so little information...

Thanks, I would love to help, but I've got to get started first.
