Trying to help a new VAX-11/750 owner

A friend of mine at work got the 11/750 recently offered for free in
Pittsburg. I don't yet know how it's loaded except for the L0022
mem controller and 14MB of RAM. My friend would _like_ to get a CI750
for it, since he already has an HSJ40 at home. Barring that, he's
considering the $$$ for a Unibus SCSI controller.

Besides the actual L0009 card, I'm reading that there appears to be
an external enclosure to house part of the CI750. My 750s were always
a local-disk affairs (UDA50/SI9900/etc). I have no experience with
CI hardware and don't know what advice to give him. Can anyone here
describe what you need to pull this all together (he already has
an SC008 and cables).

I'll try to get him on the list... he currently has about a dozen
Alpha Servers and is in the process of working backward in time
in the DEC world.
