No, actually it DOES work. As is often the case in these situations,
the failure was human error. I miscounted my QBUS slots and had this
in the A&B slots of row 5 of the backplane, with nothing in C&D -- no
DMA grant continuity! I switched it to C&D of row 5, and now it works:

@ 17774400/000201 400
@ 1000g
IAX 3.2 (C) 1984 TD Systems
 B  Boot
 C  Configuration
 D  Display
 E  Exercise
 F  Format
 S  SCSI Cmd
 T  Test TDL
 W  Write BSF
DMON=

Now getting it to talk to my SCSI ZIP disk will be another exercise
entirely. So far it's not working, but I anticipate human error there
as well.
