  No MASSBUS controllers on the 730, remember?   The only MASSBUS controllers
supported by VMS are the RH750 (for the 11/750) and RH780 (for the 11/78x).


I'd love to see your -11/730 working on HECnet!

  LARGO::, 2.6.   It's been up many times and will be again, as long as the
current disk holds out.

Alternatively, can a -11/730 be booted over the network?

  No, there's no netboot for any 7xx VAX...

Had a feeling I was misremembering.
