OK, the thing will have a standard TK70 controller and tape as the
primary tape, and then the added in TK50 controller and tape as the
secondary tape.  That should correlate with rmt0 and rmt1, I am hoping.

The only other boards in the thing are the 8 port serial controller
and the dilogic scsi card, then the cpu and ram.  Being relatively
the dunce on Qbus things, I really have no idea, and no docs of any
sort that fills me in on how/where/what/etc on these things.

Eventually, I hope to scrounge up a DELQA for it, and one more ram
card.  That should be most everything, initially.

Is some of this covered in the PDP-11 hardware listings?  I did not
see much in the VMS faq.  I have not checked elsewhere, yet.

OK, what do the switch packs do, for the sake of discussion?

OK, that would be cool.... as indicated above.

Well, I did find the tape, but on close inspection, the previous owner
of the tape had written a VMS backup over the diagnostics.  CRAPOLA!
Oh, well, such is the bane and pain of MicroVAXing.....(:+{{...

Getting there.... getting there.....
