Do you want to stick with 5.2 or would you be open to running 7.3 with
hobbyist licenses? I've tinkered with 7.3 on Q-bus VAX from KA630 to KA692.
I haven't done any 5.2 installs and don't know where support for that tops
out.
What kind of cabinet / backplane do you have? KA650 and KA655 CPUs should
be pretty easy to find. 16MB M7622 boards shouldn't be too hard to find
either, although if you want 64MB you might be limited by your backplane.
