Well, I have alittle more info concerning the 11/750 I hopefully will have soon,
it has a unibus and the 9 track, TS11, is on the unibus. I don't know if this is
much of a help, yet. There are a few ra82 drives with a uda50 i/f so if these
will work, maybe one could put an image and bootblks on a disk using VMS $QIO.
I am newbie when it comes to VAX hardware, but I will learn quickly. 

I suppose one would have to get a kernel with tu58 support first before one can
really get the system up, or am I being negative?
