Ethan,
did you look at my VAXanatomy page? I have a picture of the VAXBI
back side detai,ing some of the ethernet. You put the AUI cable
and a terminator (!) in section E of that slot. May be you forgot
the terminator?

and
http://aurora.rg.iupui.edu/~schadow/VAX/anatomy for the whole
story.
Hope that helps,
