I finally got around to grabbing the latest binaries this weekend and have
now tested things on a pair of uVAX-IIs.  I can now confirm fine operation
with the Dilog DQ256 SMD/MSCP board ... many thanks!

I ran the "Bonnie" benchmark on both systems and got these results:

uVAX-II (1+4Mb mem) with DQ256 controller and a Fuji M2361 Eagle drive.

I quite enjoyed using the bootstrap TK50 stuff on a KA650 to get the
DQ256/M2361 system going - of course the kernel said no cputype support
when I booted it though 8-)  So I had to use a KA630 for the final touches.
