Is _that_ what it was? I'd have never figured that out in a million years!
I'm utterly amazed you didn't fry it - I forget whether the slot you plugged
it into was a MUD (hex) slot, or one of the SPC slots (I know the 11/84
backplane has some MUD and some SPC, but I don't know about the /94, and I'm
too lazy to look) - but there are some odd voltages on various pins.

Well, 0114 is the 'memory system error' vector - i.e. parity, or
un-recoverable ECC error. I'm a bit surprised you're getting that, as I'd
have assumed the boot ROMs test all the memory.
I'm too lazy to read the 11/94 and J-11 manuals to see what the 11/94 has in
the way of registers that record memory issues (the 11/73 has, for instance,
a Memory System Error Register at 17777744), but that's the next step.

That seems a bit odd - the stack pointer is pointing into I/0 space? 772276
is the last Supervisor mode Data space PAR - maybe it's using those registers
as a temporary stack?
