Success!
Congratulations!
I'd left the rear panel console settings how they
were when I got the
machine, I mean 'T' for terminal, right? Wrong... arrow for terminal,
'T'
for "sit there alternating between F and 9, and driving Jules insane" ;)
'T' is 'Loop Test'...

I'm getting console output now, and it's
getting down to trying to load
system software
Will throw boards back in there and see what happens...
Just be sure to follow the grant chain - the BA23 and BA123 have a
hybrid backplane where the first few slots are CD slots and the rest
are serpentine (3 CD slots for BA23, 5 CD slots for BA123).
