How much RAM?
Have a look at

What you want is a DEC DELQA card, Type M7516 or M3127.

Depends on your needs. Perhaps a QDSS accelerated framebuffer? :-)

Oh! You are in BIG luck! These cards are rare and one of the most
wanted parts for QBus machines.

VMS, Ultrix, NetBSD, 4.3BSD-Tahoe, 4.3BSD-Reno, ???. My recomendation is
NetBSD, as it is my prefered OS.
