Hi. Is anybody out there working on install-from-scratch support for the 750?
I seem to remember that a few years ago there used to be a set of TU58 images
for booting and installing a miniroot, but it looks as though that support has now
disappeared...

Failing that, does anybody have any other ideas about how to install onto my 
750? It currently runs the Wisconsin NFS version of 4.3. I don't use it intensively any longer,
so I'm thinking about the possibilities of doing some serious hacking...
Configuration:
14 Megs of memory, UDA50 with RA81 and a couple of RA60s that sometimes work,
delua ethernet, DMF32 serial multiplexer, TU80 tape drive, RL11 controller and (sometimes)
RL02 disk drive, and a TD systems Viking with a 2gig quantum scsi disk on it. Oh yes, and
an RX02 dual 8" floppy drive! How much of this junk^H^H^H^H valuable vintage hardware 
is supported by netbsd? I get the impression that almost everything except the mscp-compatible
controllers is unsupported... but maybe that just makes the challenge that bit more attractive. 

Thanks for any info,

james
