The saga continues...
Got the system running finally, but now I can't get the TK50 tape drive
to work. Have checked the cabling, reseated everything, and even tried
a different TQK50 controller. Have tried the following from VMS 5.1:
$ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:SYSGEN
SYSGEN> SET NOAUTOCONFIG 0
SYSGEN> AUTOCONFIGURE ALL/SELECT=(PT)
(at this point the system hangs... same if I omit the /SELECT, and the
only way I can get out of it is to halt the system from the console.)
Here's what the system is showing:

I'm not a major expert on vms, but I've had a similar problem on a
4000. I took all the qbus boards out of the machine and put them all
in one by one until it booted. The one card left turned out to need
termination before vms would boot.
You may have a similar problem, try taking everything out apart from
the tk50 card and see how that goes with an autoreconfigure.
