It's getting near time to retire our old VAX 8600.  It has been suggested
that we can get a 6210 pretty cheap on the used market and upgrade it
to a 6240 by adding boards. The 8600 has some unreplaceable UNIBUS tape
drive on it, (TS-11 lookalikes with Digi-data VHS drives), so we would 
need to put a UNIBUS adapter on the new machine.  We can get that used, too.

Now, my question is:  since we will already have a UNIBUS on the 6000,
can I run my UNIBUS DHU-11 terminal muxes on it?

I KNOW that DEC doesn't _support_ it, but will it _work_?
