I'm not really familiar with the BA213's, however, it appears that if he's
got any disks they're apparently SCSI (though for some reason I was thinking
the KZQSA doesn't "Support" SCSI Disks). If they are in fact SCSI would he
have the numbered plugs?

Oh, and if you must run NetBSD on DEC hardware get a DECstation :^) Quit
wasting good hardware on UNIX :^) Having said that don't ask what I run
OpenBSD on.... :^)
