  I think someone even wrote a driver for VMS to use disks on that
controller.   I have several of those machines; I really should look
into
that.   Does anyone have any further information on, or actual copies
of,
those boot ROMs and/or the VMS device driver?

  No, the SCSI host adapter in question is actually integrated onto the
MicroVAX-2000 and VAXstation-2000 main board.
