  Yes, and likewise for all BA440-based VAX 4000
systems.  Just grab
 a kitchen knife (warn the wife first.. she might get scared) and
 cut a notch.  Works for me and the 3400 :) 
Be careful, though; sometimes these things really do want power cords
that can carry more current.  I notched a cord once to replace a cord
that went missing when the NCR Tower went to a trade show.  It worked,
but a couple days later I got a "smells like smoke in the lab" report
and found it had browned a bit.
