So, what's the best or most feasable answer to my dilemma?  Try hard to
find a qbus scsi card (right!), run them over nfs, find an esdi controller
and drive, find a bigger-more reliable MFM drive?  I really want to get
them working - especially the VSIII - it's tool cool to just sit there and
too cool to just run the NetBSD installation utility.....
