BA23 setup and DZQ11 configuration

     Either that or
a trade of a KDJ11-BB or maybe -BF
 for my KDJ11-AA and some other stuff? 
 Can't you just burn a boot ROM and put it on the CPU
 board? I was under the impression you could. If so, I
 have an EPROM burner and can burn an EPROM if you
 want. 
 Dave has nowhere to stuff a ROM.  The KDJ11-A board is dual-height
 and is a CPU only, no peripherals (yes, in the mini-computer world,
 boot ROMs aren't always integral - if you have a front panel, you
 don't "need" ROMs, even if they are handy for fast startup). 
 True, but it's unlikely that any system with a KDJ11-A in it didn't  
 have
 some sort of boot ROM; there wasn't any front-panel that I know of for
 those machines.  The -A version was typically used in OEM gear which
 had a boot-rom (or just a rom with the system's runtime code in it) on
 some other board. 
The problem is, I got the KDJ11-A board by itself and not in a  
system. I do have some MXV11-A modules but I guess they can't boot an  
RD53 or ESDI drive. I think I can use one for a console port though.  
I guess I'll have to do that because my CPU card doesn't have one of  
those either. I believe I need to disable the onboard RAM though  
because the RAM on the MXV11-A isn't Q22 compatible.
