I don't think that any of the VAX-11/7xx series can be MOP loaded: as far as I 
know, the BOOT58 code does not support it. Of course, I don't have an 11/7xx 
here to try this on so I could be wrong.

I would be amazed if it supported booting over a synch or asynch DDCMP.

On a VAX-11/730 with no access to a disk drive, your only option is TU58, AFAIK 
- and having used TU58 on a VAX-11/750, I know how bad that is!

The CPU is quite different, so if it works it's plain luck.
