If only you'd asked 18 months ago :-)
As you can see, it's a full boat - 16MB of RAM in 5

I'd be
nice to bring this up to an 8350.

If you can get three KA820s (or KA825s)
you should be able to get that to work too!
(But you cannot mix KA820 & KA825).
right from looking at where the Lance chip is on the
DEBNT. If
anyone
has installation instructions, particularly cabling
instructions,
those would be very helpful.
The Owner's Manual is available at:

I *thought* I'd also scanned and sent an
install guide for one of the VAXBI ethernet
options, but I guess not.
When I had one in the lab, my VAX 8350
just mostly worked so I don't have too much
experience of playing with the ethernet.

and memory were all pretty straightforward.
The only funny I remember with ethernet is
that you need to cable up a little bit extra
for the power required by the AUI in
the bulkhead. But that may well have been
the VAX 6000 ...
