[In the case of 8350] Pull the BA-box out, open top-cover, choose slot,
insert card, flip BA-cabinet, remove bottom plate, check that the slot has
the ID-jumpers, insert cables and tighten to [some specific value]. Put
everything back together. Blame Jarkko for not remembering the important stuff.

Seriously, that's the way it probably should be done. The machine I have is
suffering from some weird stuff, it seems KDB is faulty. If anyone wants to
take a look I have some EBUCA logs at

I've been too busy trying to restore an old HP 7974 9-track, with
Thorn-Emi Datatech innards.
