I can get the UVAX2DIAG1.IMG RX50 disk image to boot

It makes it as far as printing the "VAXELN V2.0-00" banner then it
hangs. I assume the RX50 disk image is probably good and there is just
something about the SIMH KA655 emulation that isn't accurate enough
for the diagnostics to continue. I haven't tried to write these RX50
disk images out to physical floppies yet to try booting on real
hardware.
Should the UVAX2 diagnostics even boot on a KA655? That's a
somewhat different beast than the KA630. I have a physical
KA655 plus RAM, but my BA11-S is on the blink at the moment
(power supply woes that I haven't had time in months to look
at), but if anyone wants to borrow the set for a time, it
could be lent out (or sold, come down to it; I have slightly
more appealing VAX hardware on hand now).
