Just my 2 ct, I have an 11/750, but not yet had a good look at it.
I know it boots VMS from an RA81, but can't remember the version.
This is DEC hardware, so will NEVER run NetBSD or anything non-DEC
on it. If I want to run non-DEC software, I'll grab a stupd PC!
I found this a good page: http://www.vaxarchive.org/hw/750faq.html
Somebody (in The Netherlands) promised to send me a CD-ROM with
Ultrix for the 11/750, and I gave him 10 euro to cover expenses.
Alas, after 2 e-mails, I never heard of him ... so I would be very
interested in an Ultrix CD-ROM for the 11/750 too.
