Antonio said that Johnny Billquist has the docs. I think Ragge has
the VAX 6000 hardware and the skills to get NetBSD running on it.
The other question is if Ragge has the time to do this...

Just ask Johnny Billquist for a copy?
If the docs are printed versions and shipping acros the pond is too
expensive I am willing to scan the docs if Johnny can send them to
me (Germany). I have a scanner with ADF that already scaned the
KA680 Technical Manual...

The DEC 7000 has Laserbus? I thought it has FutureBus+? Or was that the
DEC 4000?
