I could have sworn that about a month ago I posted the meaning of the
codes for a MV I and that it was waiting for a boot command...

You did, sorry. You left the LED codes for the CPU but I didn't realise the
significance - I was too hooked on the the diagnostic LED stopping at 3 :-/
Unemployment is rotting my brain......I was amazed today that I remembered
how to put a BA23 back together.

Oh yes. I know they had to put some clearance in for cables between the back
of the QBUS cards and the back cover, but did they HAVE to use such savage
edges on the plating?

Did you remove all of the skin that used to be on your knuckles?

Even blunt edges will cut through flat ribbon cable, but
the DEQNA/DELQA round cable was more of a challenge.
Using the removable covers (the big ones) as frisbees
is probably fun too :-)

It is, just make sure they don't get near people/pets/glass! I found a DEQNA
in my cards collection yesterday whilst scrounging for an RQDX1, but sadly
no cab kit. Bah.
