Most of them, yes. I'm using a CMD board and it boots just fine.
There is a disk size limit for the boot disk on some machines if
its over 1gig.

The problem is SCSI cards are not cheap even used.

To me a Microvax with a SCSI card is not an abomination. This would be
especially true if you used a RZ55 or 56!

Now if you put a SCSI on a 780, that would be a hack. However, it would
allow the use of the CPU with a less power hungry disk.
