Ah. You do indeed have KS #4469, but I had a brain fade when comparing it. I
have KS #4664.

Yes, and you only need to provide power for the fan and the KS backplane if
you don't need the tape drive or terminals (the CTY and KLINIK are off of the
KS backplane). You do have to fix a bug in TOPS-20 to keep it from crashing
if no DZs respond.

You have to rewire jumpers on the RH11. Cut some, add others.
