I thought the ultrastore 24F had a WDxxxx compatibility mode that
you could enable so you could boot anything that will work on
a standard PC type controller.  I loaded AT&T sysvr3.2 on a machine
with one once to try it out.  In that mode you are limited to
two drives, but once you are running you can then load the
drivers for non-emulation mode.  However, at the time I didn't
have any r4 driver for it and the machine ended up running DOS.
