I also have a spare DL11-W to offer
Josh, if you want a second serial line, it's best to use a regular DL11
(M7800), not a DL11-W. (M7800s are available on eBay, for pretty modest
amounts.) The reason is that each DL11-W presents a load on the line clock
signal (from the power supply), even if the line clock on the second board
is
disabled; several Dl11-W's, and the line clock signal may get overloaded.

I need to scare up a second SLU so I can get an
emulated TU-58 hooked
up to try booting XXDP
I'm not sure any M9301 variant supports the TU-58? Some are set up to boot
over the console serial line, though. (I haven't yet checked the code, so I
don't know whether you need to feed it the absolute loader first, or if it
will just take .LDA files directly.)
And I just realized you're working with a -YB, and I've been dis-assembling
the -YA! Fat lot of use that would have been! Oh well, I assume the code is
fairly similar, I'll do the -YB next. (Anyone have a dump, to start me
off?)
comparing the diagnostic/console PROM listings to
what I have
Where were those from? Thanks in advance...

I could be wrong, but ISTR that in the first few
words of a ROM are
the
two capitals of the boot device that the PROM
supports.
Not in the M9301-YA, in either bank.
