pull the EGA thingie, and you might be able to cram enough "regular" PDP-11
bits into it to get it bootstraping correctly and most importantly trying to
use a serial port for console.
the /73 is a fabulous machine, don't give up on it too quickly. :)
Interestingly, though, is the fact that this custom
