I guess this explains why my system has no BDV11 board in it. Although it
doesn't completely work either.
This sounds familiar. And to be honest, if you are
running anything other
than RT11SJ, you probably have a lot more than 28KW of memory anyway, so
the saving is minimal. My advice would be not to bother trying to squeeze
another 2KW out of the system.
I'm running RT11XM, and it doesn't seem like I need an extra 2KW.
