Here's an update, for all who may be interested in it:
The MicroVAX II now has the following configuration:
A B C D
+-------------------------------------+
| CPU |
+-------------------------------------+
| Memory |
+-------------------------------------+
| TQK50 | EMPTY |
+-------------------------------------+
| DHV11 |
+-------------------------------------+
| DRQ3 |
+-------------------------------------+
| RQDX3 | EMPTY |
+-------------------------------------+
I'm trying to get my hands on a DELQA or a DEQNA. Will
this require yet another re-shuffle of the cards, or can I
move the RQDX3 to the end and put the DELQA/DEQNA where
the RQDX3 is now?
Anyhow, here's the skinny on what VMS is seeing from the system.
The machine came with a real treasure from its old owner:
Copies of VMS 5.1, 5.4, 5.4-1, 5.5, and 5.5-1 on TK50 tapes,
all still shrinkwrapped, in Digital Software cardboard boxes,
with the manuals, also shrinkwrapped, in the original shipping
boxes with packing list, still taped shut. It also came with
LMF, and DEC FORTRAN also still shrinkwrapped. I upgraded from
VMS 5.1 to 5.4. The upgrade went off without a hitch, as the
kit came with the MicroVAX II Supplement. The software all comes
with 50 seat license PAKs.

I've done a full BACKUP/IMAGE/RECORD of DUA0: to TK50s, as I will probably
be dumping this install for Quasijarus as soon as I am able. VMS and I
do not get along.
