I'm starting to collect some qbus equipment again
and am trying to
setup a system around a KDJ11-AA CPU.
My current configuration is:
BA23 enclosure
KDJ11-AA (m8192)
MSV11-QC (m7551 cf)
DZQ11-M (m3106)
RQDX3 (m7555)
TQK50-AA (m7546)
First, will it be possible to boot this configuration? Can I setup to
start the KDJ11 in ODT mode and enter a bootstrap for the RQDX3 by
hand? How long a program would I have to enter?
You could enter this MSCP bootstrap by hand with a dumb terminal in
ODT, but you would probably want to use a terminal program to send it
rather than typing it.

I haven't actually tried that MSCP bootstrap, but I did enter the
TMSCP bootstrap I found there via a terminal program in ODT mode on a
KDJ11-A and it worked fine to boot from a tape.
