Nice info.

The problem with RSX was as Johnny Billquist already indentified due to a missing
LTC signal. This is solved by placing a jumper on the backplane to get the signal
on the bus when generated from the DL11-W. It is described in the FSE docs, so it
is just a matter of counting the pins and make the connection.

I have also executed some diagnostics, only cache test #2 fails partly, is mentions
a possible problem with the ADM. Besides that problem, the machine works fine.

So, I have now a nice running 11/70, and the only thing left to do is to
transport the RM03 one floor up into the machine room :=(

Thanks,

Ed
