Hi all,
As an update to this project, I can report that the DELQA has been
repaired with four new static RAM chips, and now the MicroVAX II's
network is fully working (including netboot).
Credit due to Joe Zatarski (joe_z) who did a beautiful job of
desoldering and putting sockets in for the four RAM chips.

Glad to have helped :)
