  Right. Zane asked (quite rightly) in an earlier post if I was sure
of my cabling.. yes, I am using the same cables for both machines;
the 'dead' one is sitting on top of the 'live' one's cabinet...
nothing but the DB9 adapter going to the console and the power cord.

Further configuration observation: The II/RC has a console port, a
DB15F (for e-net?) and 8 DB25Ms... [this is the working machine]
  The II has the DB9M, the DB15F + fuse holder, marked DEQNA, and
two other DB15s, for the monitor and keyboard [dead machine]

  BUT......

 What *IS* stupid is... last time it gave me the >>> prompt and I
just sat there waiting for the computer, which was waiting for me to
tell it to do something. DUH! So, okay, tonite a few more synapses
are firing than last time.. I type >>>b <ret> and......

?06 HLT INST
    PC = 20040314
?15 CORRPTN

 and there we are.... I do not have the proper docs yet, so y'all
must tell me what this means... unless my dim assumption is correct
and it is missing it's Fixed Disk... which is still stuck. I
re-booted 6 or 7 times, the result is invariate.
