Can you take a picture of this box please? It sounds like a BA23 to
me, and pretty much every MicroVAX-I shipped in bog-standard BA23s.

KD32.
It has a maximum RAM capability of 4MB. It definitely
cannot run
netbsd later than 1.61, maybe nothing before that, but I haven't
validated...
Are you certain that it can run NetBSD *at all*? To my knowledge,
the somewhat unusual memory addressing scheme of the KD32 (memory
directly on the Qbus, unique for a VAX) would require quite a bit of
specific kernel support in NetBSD, and I don't think anyone ever did
that. It's possible that it happened and I missed it, but I doubt it;
port-vax is a pretty low-traffic list and I've been on it since like
1993. (when the ONLY VAX it ran on was the 11/750)
