	I don't see why not - config isn't noted for consistancy checking
and the generic ra driver that officially supports the ra70's on the 3500
is the same one that does ra80's on 3600's.  See 'man ra' for the prototype
config file entries.  If it still objects, you might try specifying both
MVAX and VAX3600 for the 'cpu' entries in the config file.

  Disclaimer: I once saw what I think was a Microvax from a great distance...
