Trying to get my RLV11 working

[Johnny Billquist]

Even better. Sorry for writing responses without checking what else is 
in my inbox. I've caught up now, though.

And you definitely look like you got a stuck bit in there.
All of the errors show expected and received data, and in all cases bit 
13 is on while it shouldn't be.

Could be a bad bus driver, a bad connection, or something more funny. 
But start with the obvious ones. Do you have any extender cards so that 
you can access the card with the power on, and measure signals. Checking 
the source of bit 13 on output and trace if the signal is always on 
somewhere would be a good exercise.

Do someone remember if there are some register in the RLV11 that can be 
written and read back getting the same data out again? That could also 
be interested to test things with...
