It did, but at the time I didn't have any spare time to think about computers.

Try the following, you'll loose the slots in the second backplane, but
since it doesn't look like you've got any other boards, don't think it will
matter. Not quite sure what you can do without any kind of drives.

When I was getting my /44 up and running this Summer, I had it in this
config while testing so it should work. Main difference being you having a
non-DEC RAM board. Wait, I take that back, I might have not run this
without a RL02 controller in slot 13.

6 A-F M7096
7 A-F M7097
8 A-F M7098
9 A-F MM-144 (see above)
14 M9302

The G727A is grant continuity board. In the second backplane you need
these or the other style in empty slots.

>> 16 D G727A

Hope this helps, let me know if you've questions and I can try and help.
