So, to catch this defect the diagnostic would have to

Put the M795 out on an extender, loaded 16 in RKBAR, and had a look around
with a logic probe. Narrowed it down to E34 (a 7430 8-input NAND). Pulled,

I can now successfully boot and run

copyright 1986.
I don’t want to insert this into a system until

It still fels like a legend. My experience with DEC field service
