What CPU's will work with these ram boards?  Any gotchas in backplanes?

Is there some combo of boards I can wheedle together to get NetBSD or
Ultrix up on the backplane/case?  Or, is it mostly a function of
finding that proverbial mystical magickal lustful Qbus scsi board?

Heaven forbid, but, can I take the MVII boardset and stuff it in
that backplane, and dongle/cable up ESDI drives internally to get
my 4.3BSD breadboard VAX stuffed into some sort of cabinet?

Is it possible to use the dssi bus cabling as ordinary scsi, IFF
I I only use two internal scsi drives, and remove the terminator
plug, terminating the last drive on the drive?  It seems to be
only a straight 50 pin cable, otherwise.

Is this cabinet one of those with the hard-to-find cable for input
power, that has the strange extra groove?

Well, I thought I would ask the strange VAXbuilding questions...(:+}}.
There has gotta be some way to use this critter!

Thanks
