Nice.  Not screamingly quick, but the multiprocessing is a plus. 2.2
vups/cpu.
Should be at least 64Mb of RAM in one of those. Do I sense a NetBSD port for
XMI
based KA62, 62A, 64, 65 & 66 machines in the wind?  I hope so.

DSSI for sure. I have a 6440 with one of them in it.
Look for a T2036 - XMI to DSSI Adapter Module in the XMI cage, it's the one
on the front right, with the CPU and RAM cards in it.
There is a VAXBI version too, but I don't know its module number, I've only
seen the XMI version.
