Back in the day, we ran a variety of UNIX distros on our 11/750 w/2MB
of RAM and 2x RK07.  I remember running 4.0BSD and 4.1BSD in 1985 or
so.  We also had a SysV pack set.  Later, we ran Ultrix on the same
CPU (with more disk).

I do not know if 3BSD supports the 11/750, but it's certainly worth
confirming.  I can say from personal experience that 4.0BSD does run.
