The board that went in did not get fried, baked or boiled. Its twin 
brother that only went into the correct location produces the exact same 
results.

The RX is clearly alive, The motor runs, belt tension is good and you 
can hear the heads load.
I have a box full of 8" floppies. BTW how many 8" floppies do you think 
there were in an RT11 distribution?

So the question then arises what next?  If we look at what an 11/94 is 
then its a single board CPU and a power control card in a three slot 
back plane. There after its UNIBUS  So is there any thing we can put in 
the spare QBUS  slot without doing any damage?
