>The cards are, from one end:

OK, this is the CPU, a KDJ11-A.
>M7195
128 kbyte RAM
>M8067
Another 128 kbyte RAM
>M8045
Depending on the letters that follow M8045, it's between 8 kbytes
and 64 kbytes of RAM. I'm guessing it's a fully populated 64 kbytes.
>M8059
Another 128 kbytes or 256 kbytes of RAM, depending on the letters that
follow the M8059.

It's also particularly confusing, because you evidently have no serial
line cards nor disk controllers in the backplane. I have no idea
how you even got the ODT prompt out of the machine.
Look at the serial ports on the back of the machine, and the ribbon
cables coming from the inside of the cab kits. Which cards in the
backplane do these connect to?
