I solved my problem. Moved the TQK50 to the next row
after the RQDX3,
instead of beside it and it works fine. Don't quite understand that, since
I'm positive I had the RQDX3 and TQK50 in the exact same spot with the
KA650 board set as they'd been with the KA630 board set, and I saw it
working in that config.
Does a system care if you've got a grant continuity board in a spot that
you shouldn't have a board? It seems to me that it should.
Again, you aren't really giving us enough details (What backplane slots?
Which backplane? Your previous message mentioned both a BA123 and
a Sigma box, but I couldn't figure out which one you were trying to
use the boards in. What else is in the system? What exactly was the problem?
In your previous message you said "the problem was the TK50 controller", but
I still haven't a clue what the symptoms were!) to answer your question, but
if you draw out the arrangement of cards both "before" and "after"
I'll
take a shot!

Oops, thought I'd mentioned that originally, this is the Sigma chassis for
two reasons, it fits nicely in the bottom of a rack, and I'm saving the
BA123 for a spare for my /73.
Here is the original config, didn't work:
KA650 -----
MS650 -----
MS650 -----
RQDX3 TQK50
-rest empty-
This worked:
KA650 -----
MS650 -----
MS650 -----
RQDX3 GRANT
-rest empty-
and this:
KA650 -----
MS650 -----
MS650 -----
RQDX3 empty
GRANT empty
-rest empty-
Final solution:
KA650 -----
MS650 -----
MS650 -----
RQDX3 empty
TQK50 empty
-rest empty-
use the boards in. What else is in the system? What
exactly was the problem?

IIRC, the Diagnostic it stopped on was 34 (but might be off a few). Seem
to work great this way, but it sounds like I should swap the RQDX3 and
TQK50 from what Allison says.
Do you happen to know the configuration of a Sigma Backplane? Somehow I
suspect that would answer my questions.
