Yes. Though cable wise I'd rather do two 3.5" MFMs.

No idea. Unix/ultrix is a toy I play with. I only have one system
running that. The rest run VMS, RT-11, CP/M.

Unknown. The machine was from Umass Amhurst junkpile as did the RD53 in
it. It looks vanilla to me.
I think if you were to go to the Ultrix internals courses that dec
offered plus docs, writing one is not a unresonable task. It's been
done with VMS as well. Me I prefer to not work on kernel stuff unless
for money, embedded micros are my thing.
My idea of fun is getting UZI unix running on a z80 derivitive (Z280).
