Hi Bob,

I run two MVII's in BA23's here.  Both have NetBSD. 
The only major caveat is that the puppy is REALLY slow compared to
most anything else on the planet.  However, mine have proven to be
diehard workhorses.  Both of them have been running for well over 
a month at a time--they would have kept running had I not rebooted
to bring up a new kernel.  Mine are both SCSI (CMD controllers)
with 16mb each.  I do netboot them both, since I long-ago yanked 
out the floppies in order to add additional drives. in the cabinet.
With the speed issue aside, they have proven their utilitarian 
value  for providing me the VAX platform I need for software 
porting issues.

Hope that helps.
