From what I remember, the 750 will run off single-phase 110 volt. So
will an RM05, but it has to be 220 (which, in the US, requires two
phases to make 220).
I think only the RP06/7's really needed 3-phase, but even then, I could
be wrong. Most of this DEC equipment really only needed single-phase,
but balancing the load was always a good idea in places that were
already 3-phase capable.

There's a small intersection between Lasseter and NYIT where I

work. A friend worked there during the CGL/NYIT days, and when they
closed up, I dumpster dived a lot of stuff.
Including the NFS 2.0 sources that Warren currently has in the TUHS
archives ;)
Towards the end, they were using BSD 4.3 on Vaxen - I even got my
hands
on a couple of 750's, which have been ruined over the years
because of
environmental problems with the storage location. I do still have a
complete set of boards.
I still have an RM05 pack, labeled /pix ... probably way past the
ability to be read, I'm afraid, unless someone wants to sacrifice an
RM05 drive to try.
