Anyhow, I figure that the OS/8 pack might have become

attempted to reload it on my 11/23+ system (which IS working and passing

However, since I last successfully did it, I've upgraded the 11/23+ boot
ROMs to the KDF11B-BH V1.0. This is the only hardware change. Not sure
if that has anything to do with the problem
Do I need to go back to the original boot ROM in order
to use VTserver
(i.e. is there some change made to ODT that is messing things up?)
The boot ROMs have no bearing on ODT, which is in the microcode in the
KDF11 itself. So you can eliminate at least one area of concern. What
boot ROMs did you have before? Were they 2K ones (11/23+) or 8K ones
(microPDP-11/23)? Have you changed any jumpers during the upgrade?
