Three-and-a-half questions regarding 4.3BSD and MicroVAX II:

        1)   Do I still need access to a "real" VAX running ULTRIX to
             get going, or can I get a bootable distribution on TK50?
        1.5) Will a cheap 1600BPI tape drive be any help?
        2)   Is there support for RD53 (the 71 MB fixed disk) ?
        3)   Anyone out there doing kernel development with the 71MB disk?
             How badly will I wish for an RA81? (can you imagine anyone
             wishing for an RA81?)

I'd appreciate any anecdotes you have to share.  E-mail would be nice
(even if you post); I don't get to read news very often.

P.S. Priced a UNIX source license lately?  Ouch.
