I got NetBSD on one by installing it on a RA81 with a uVAX II, and
then hooking up the RA81 to the 11/750. Unfortunately, that drive
has crashed later, so my 11/750 is unusable. I do have a RA70 from
a VS3500. Is it possible to connect a RA70 to the 11/750? Do the
cables from the 3500 and the 750 match? If so, i might try the same
trick again...
