Hello,
    I recently aquired a Solbourne 5/600 (thanks Dave!) with 2 processor =
boards, an I/O board, an unspecified amount of memory (the one memory =
card does not list amounts), along with a full VME chasis (a SCSI board, =
an I/O board, and a number of unlabled boards).  I also recieved a bunch =
of VME cards from a scrapped Solbourne system.  After much card =
shuffling, I managed to get all the processor cards diagnostic LEDs to =
do the same thing, they flash through a number of #s ranging from 1-18, =
backtracking to older numbers ocassionally, and finally, every card =
reads A1, followed by C4, then it goes back to A1, and repeats.  =
Previously, two cards would read 88, but I think that was due to me not =
inserting them correctly, and one card would read two numbers, and =
repeat.  Is the A1-C4 behavior normal?  I don't have a terminal or a =
head availible for it at present, so I cannot test for screen output, =
etc. so I cannot check that way (yet).
    Thank you for your time,
    Zach
