Your T 9E test seems to confirm something I have suspected, that the diags
on my QBUS DECsystem 5400 are the Mayfair VAX tests with some extra MIPS
ones added on. (My T 9e has the same tests for those codes as yours just
with a different ROM address as one might suspect)
I found a ssc.h file for the KA650 in /usr/sys/machine/ on my Ultrix
DECsystem 5400. My version of Ultrix does not mention the 655. It says
that there is a TOY register on the SSC.
Just guessing, but perhaps this is related to your errors. There seem to
be other registers in there that are probably init'd from values in the
NVRAM as well, and maybe a corrupt NVRAM could cause your errors...
* VAX3600 (ka650) System Support Chip (SSC) registers
u_long ssc_toy; /* time of year clock reg */
u_char ssc_cpmbx; /* Console Program Mail Box: Lang & Hact */
u_char ssc_terminfo; /* TTY info: Video Dev, MCS, CRT & ROM flags*/
