I managed to get some info on the switch settings for the 11/73. Actually, they are from an 11/83, which, from what I understand, is close enough. (Thanks, Lee!) I'm still running into problems, however. This CPU is going into the same backplane that I've been using my 11/23+ in. I've had no noticeable problems. Take everything out, and insert 11/73. (M8190-AB). Upon power-up, the screen clears, and it says Testing in progress - Please wait Numbers flash by on the LED display, very briefly. They land on "56." (What does that mean, Vanna?) Doesn't make a difference if memory is installed or not. I've tried it with 2MB, 4MB, a genuine DEC MSV11-PL, and NO memory. With the information I was provided, (which was not altogether very well written,) I messed around with switches 2-5. Either I got the usual "56.", or it would flip through 3 or 4 numbers, in rapid succession, pausing for a moment on "62." I can get it to power-up, and drop into ODT, but instead of it displaying 173000, it displays something like 173102. It does give me the prompt, though. If I type "0/", to view location 0, it just prints "0?". Is it NOT seeing memory? How could it not? If anyone can help, let me know. I'm growing balder every day!
