There is a Sun2 NetBSD port.  68010-based, not more than 12MHz (I would 
guess 8MHz), Multibus I.  I can't imagine it's faster that an 11/730 (a 
386/16 is a relative speed deamon in comparison, even in the SX variety). 

It doesn't appear that NetBSD runs on an 11/730.  Shame, as it's a tres kewl 
bit-slice design.  None of those fruity ASICs or FPGAs...:-)
