>What exactly do your "RX33's" do when you try to access them?

They flicker briefly just prior to the machine complaining it can't boot.
I'm not sure I had them connected properly. I'll try the method Allison
suggested in a little bit.

>What firmware revision is your RQDX3?

Well, the stickers are pretty hard to read, but if I'm looking at the right
two, they both say

LMB617 or LM8617
then one says 21725 or 217E5
I'm pretty sure the second says 216E5

If these aren't ROMs that support RX33's which ones should I be looking
for, there is a chance one of my other RQDX3's that I've got in my spares
will work.

OK, I'm crazy enough to be attempting my first SYSGEN at the moment
thankfully I've got a SMS-1000 (11/73) running the RT-11 already. My goal
is to get the 11/73 I've been working on in the BA-123 to boot RT-11 and
RSX-11M both, that way I only need one set up. BUT in order to do that
I've got to get RT-11 installed.

BTW the RT-11 RX-50 distro kit I've got is for V5.3

>Look for the file MUB.COM on your distribution:

I checked, and don't have it. Guess that answers that question
