Tried my M7838 EIS this morning. It is bad or there is a config/jumper
issue to investigate. With the EIS installed I cannot boot RT-11 5.3 nor
UNIX 6.
The good news is that when I attempt to boot UNIX 6 I get a different error
than before. Now, when I run rlunix at the ! prompt, the system responds
with all data lights and address light 1 ON. The system still freezes, but
it's less "dead" than before, seems like it gets farther along indicating
the bootstrap at least starts before the EIS board fails somehow.
Now I have XXDP+ on a disk pack and I can run diagnostics on the EIS board,
if the system allows me to boot XXDP, see what happens.
