We had an RUX50 on our 11/750 (I still have it). It's just another
MSCP controller, but since we had a UDA50, our RUX50 was configured at
an alternate address.
I suppose we could have booted off of it, but we would have needed a
bootstrap that could boot from a non-primary controller. Our boot
ROMs only knew how to boot device 0 on the primary controller.
