Here [1] is a Technical Manual of the KA670 with about everything explained, even the
SHAC that does DSSI and CI. Atleast i hope there is enough Information in this Document.

NetBSD has a SGEC driver, i've Netbooted it some years ago with MOP. Porting
the driver wouldn't be so hard for someone with experience in this field?

I don't have one of those.

Currently my VAX has only this:

3x RF72 (one drive failed some time ago)
1x TK70
1x Emulex UC08
1x TQK70
1x CXY08
4x 32mb RAM (most expensive ram i've ever bought :)
1x KA670
