I'm pretty sure I sent the docs to Johnny Billquist. It may
be that he has the docs and Ragge has the hardware. Or it may
be that my memory is failing and I sent him something else ...

I have sent *some* docs (again to Johnny IIRC). My recollection is
that there is enough to understand the CPU and I/O cards. Whether
there is enough to do Laserbus support, I don't recall.
My last two emails to Johnny got bounced because Update thinks
ntl (ny ISP) relays spam. So feel free to ask either of them what
is going on and point them my way if they don't have what I think
they have. I don't yet have either a VAX 6000 or a VAX/DEC 7000 so
there's no particular rush :-)
