I'm sure I will, at some point. My interest in these old systems (that
I never had a chance to use until now) are seeing how they behave and

it's the act of getting the thing installed and running that makes for
the fun.
And, netbooting shouldn't be too bad. (Hmm...I hadn't even yet wondered
if the 11/750 is capable of netbooting until you mentioned it.)
As has been mentioned previously in this thread IIRC, a VAX should
really be running VMS, but Ultrix is DEC stuff too, after all. I do
believe, though, that I'll end up _keeping_ VMS running on this thing,
once I've had my fill at experimenting with Ultrix on it.

I also have several flavors of Ultrix 4 for VAX
that I've played with
on a Vs3100
Why not install it on the 11/750? There should be some way to prepare
bootable ULTRIX media with a VAXstation 3100 or MicroVAX running ULTRIX.
Or netboot the 11/750...
