PDP11/83 power up results - Thanks to members of cctalk who helped

To all who provided kind assistance and advice. Finally had the time to properly power up some 11/83 Qbus cards. A KDJ-11B and 2 MSV1J's in a BA213 chassis, formerly a DECserver 550. The following is the power messages. ----------------------------------------------------- Testing in progress - Please wait Memory Size is 4088 K Bytes 9 Step memory test Step 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Starting automatic boot Trying MU0 Message 14 Non existent controller, address 17774500 Commands are Help, Boot, List, Setup, Map and Test.

I have a CMD SCSI controller to start with. I suppose by the time I finish SimH will look to be the easier route, but old hardware has a bit of a class to it.
