Unfortunately I have no RLV12.

I can see the two small lines going to BC1 and BD2 on the M8013.
Do you know what these signals are used for?
If I see this correct, they don't go to the M8014. They just put some
signals onto the bus. So some sugery would solve the problem?

This would fit to NetBSD. NetBSD uses only one softwareinterface
for UniBus and QBus...
