Hearing anyone decode the FUBAR makes me twitch.
Uhmm isn't the computer version Foo bar as in Foo bar blatz zam zow
On some models of VAX there's a hardware register that stores (part of)
the address of a Unibus cycle where the selected device failed to
respond. This register is called, not suprisingly, the
Failed UniBus Address Register
or FUBAR in the technical manual, printset, etc. And yes, I am aware of
the other expansions of FUBAR, and I am sure the designers were as well...

And since the Unibus adapter logic on the DW780 is spread out badly
over 4 1/2 boards (the @#$%^ paddle card has some along with the
terminator) it's a bear to troubleshoot by swapping without a full kit.
And it goes intermittant a lot...
