There's no real need for RT-11 to know about the existence of the WQESD,
if there aren't any drives there. I'd do a SET DU:CSR2=160354 and
map any other ports to unused CSR's and see if that helps.
If you ever want to get rid of your WQESD, let me know - I *love* them -
they're wonderfully configurable controllers, and particularly good under
RT-11 as you can get 8 bootable OS's per drive.

Which monitor - FB? XM? SJ?
If you do a SHOW MEM (on a running system, clearly!) where does 134606
fall?
Which version of RT-11? RT-11 5.3 had some seriously screwy problems with
the DU driver in some situations, and the early 5.4's had some
serious difficulties. 5.4G isn't so bad, but not as good as 5.5 or later.

Are you running any foreground jobs simultaneously? TCP/IP, maybe? Does
the crash happen if you don't start up the foreground jobs?
