Do the M9312 roms help?

I also have a YF card. It came from a PDP-11/10 and was sitting in location slot 3.
I put it into my NC and there were no smoke coming out anywhere...

I could access the contents but it didn't run very well. So either the CPU is still bad or the PROM contents are bad.
Could you please direct me to your YF dumps so I could compare? Intel HEX would be fine.

If you also have done a disassembly that would be very interesting.

Thanks!
