Oops, thought I'd mentioned that originally, this is the Sigma chassis for
two reasons, it fits nicely in the bottom of a rack, and I'm saving the
BA123 for a spare for my /73.
Here is the original config, didn't work:
KA650 -----
MS650 -----
MS650 -----
RQDX3 TQK50
-rest empty-
This worked:
KA650 -----
MS650 -----
MS650 -----
RQDX3 GRANT
-rest empty-
and this:
KA650 -----
MS650 -----
MS650 -----
RQDX3 empty
GRANT empty
-rest empty-
Final solution:
KA650 -----
MS650 -----
MS650 -----
RQDX3 empty
TQK50 empty
-rest empty-

IIRC, the Diagnostic it stopped on was 34 (but might be off a few). Seem
to work great this way, but it sounds like I should swap the RQDX3 and
TQK50 from what Allison says.
Do you happen to know the configuration of a Sigma Backplane? Somehow I
suspect that would answer my questions.
