Is there a way to boot XXDP+ from a secondary MSCP
controller (e.g. CSR at
760334) ?
This isn't a PDP-11 boot ROM issue - the -11 (a 11/53+ in this instance)
ROM has no problem booting from a secondary controller.
The issue is that, once started, XXDP doesn't know that it should talk to
this alternate CSR address and promptly dies.
Thanks,

What are you using for the primary and secondary MSCP controllers and
what disk units do you have configured on each controller?
I'm pretty sure I have seen the same symptoms you have described when
trying to boot XXDP from a secondary MSCP controller, but I just tried
this now and it seems to be working with this particular combination
of controllers:
772150 CMD CQD-220/TM DU0,DU1,DU2,DU3 (SCSI HDs)
760334 Dilog SQ703 DU4 (SCSI CD-ROM with XXDP V2.5 image)
With M7625 KA655 in backplane:
