I have a VAX 11/750 and some parts that I recently obtained and would like to restore it. This is the computer I originally learned to program on as a child (yes, I was in 7th grade and had the power of a VAX to play with) so I have great sentimental value attached to it!
In the parts, I have a set of cards M7485 and M7486 which is apparently a UDA50 board set. Can I use this with an RA72 drive (heck, I'm not sure I even know what UDA50 stands for)? I have lots of DSSI drives too, for my 4000 series machines, but I take it that I can't use them on the 11/750. I've had one of the RA72 drives sitting around for years and don't know if it even works. I also have no cabling for any of this. Is the RA72 referred to as a SDI drive? I think it's 1GB. Is that too big for a 750?
Any information would be very much appreciated as I begin to plan my restoration of this machine.
