Such as a 11/785 I used to do some productive work on. The machine
just might still be around, gotta check... This brings up yet another
question: how much of the /785 hardware is currently supported by
NetBSD? The machine in question has some RA8x disks and some
RP-something disk units too, and a 9-track tape drive, which looked
very much like a TS-11 unit.
