There was an error in my setup. The transceiver power supply fuse was
blown, or at least the DELQA thought so. The jury-rigged AUI cable that
I made did not include a fuse or the loopback signal that indicated the
fuse was OK. I found that I have a real DELQA cabinet kit and that seems
to work fine. My MOP server now sees the PDP-11 beg for a boot file.

"or at least the DELQA thought so" is quite an appropriate comment. I
had a DEQNA that brought up the bad fuse signal years ago so I took
the check for it out of the driver. The board worked just fine -- and
probably still does.
