Ok, ok! Too much is being made of this.

However, I *do* admit to implying in my response that I'm of the
opinion that *sometimes* people come running to the list here the
instant any slight snag is encountered, without really exercising due
diligence, when they might take on the challenge a bit more before
doing so, thus have all the more satisfaction from arriving at the
solution.
Go back and read my initial mail. I thought I made it clear that (A)
I'm pretty green at UNIBUS PDP-11 stuff and that (B) what I was
looking for was a sanity check -- that I hadn't overlooked anything
glaringly obvious before I started really digging in with the logic
probe. I was not looking for someone to debug the issue for me, I
just wanted to make sure that my configuration was at least
theoretically correct by bouncing it off people with more experience
before I spent a day debugging and finding out it was a misplaced card
all along.
Later the focus turned to the front panel itself and I was preparing
for a long debugging session with it when a listmember suggested not
trusting the cable markings.
Thanks,
