Some progress tonight. Getting this on console with the memory mezzanine disconnected
(see below).
Regardless of what I type I get the Framing Error response and no echoing.
Thanks for any more insights,
Ryan

Even with a dead battery you should have seen console output. I would check the
serial cable, p2 adapter and 712 console port jumpers first.
You could try to boot directly from the eprom which holds the 197bbug(using the DIP
switches) in case the 197bug has been flashed with custom firmware(never seen this, but
who knows). You can remove the 297 expansion card as 197 has its own memory soldered on
the back-side.
