ELC == monochrome;
ELC caching =? different;
What's max mem on an ELC?
Different MMU?
No sbus; possibly taking an sbus access fault?
No floopy controller; possibly taking an fdc fault?
A/B unified serial interface...

I keep seeing an ELC next to me that I could take a look, but no...

The only thing I can think of are peripheral access faults (to supposedly
unconfigured devices?), or memory is somehow mapped a bit differently
between ELC and IPX.

Do you have an IPC or other SPARCstation you could test on?
