OK... probably battery doggone near dead. I'm formating a DSP3105 now
which should give some charge time.

There's a terminator and no devices on the External SCSI b at this time.

I've got the 1.05GB for the VAX/VMS boot disk so I should be ok...
I can always netboot the NetBSD over mop.

I've got some small 450 mb SCSI's and some 1.0 gb 5 1/4 SCSIs...
So I should be ok.
