Configuring an MS11-L for an 11/24

And one mistake already: Pulling the 11/24 box out shows the H777 supply 
in it does supply +15v, so the memory board jumper is configured back to 
+15.

Also I see slots 3-6 only need G727 knuckebusters as DMA is jumpered by 
default, as is slot 9. With the Rl11 controller in slot 7 and the RX02 
controller in slot 8 I should be good. Still will need to find a 9302 
terminator somewhere. I wonder if a 930 knucklebuster terminator will work.
