That's what I spent a couple hours debugging, c. 1986 - a new, never-
before-seen-the-light-of-day VAX 11/750 and a TU80 controller. Prior
to that, I'd only ever worked on used VAXen that had previously been
stripped of all NPR wires (since we *sold* DMA Unibus cards and had
as many NPR grant cards as we needed).

Good advice. At least use a color other than the typical straw-yellow
wires.
