First, a bit of history...

I own an VAX 730, with a DMF32 and a DZ11 both installed. (recived it
that way...). I want to remove the DZ11, because I have no use for
16 ports, 8 is fine for me (and I want to install the DZ11 in my 
PDP-11/34a).

I removed the DZ11 and replaced it with the NPG card, and booted the
VAX. The DMF32 used to show up as devices TXA0-7, and the DZ11 was
TTA0-7 (I might have these reversed, but you get the idea:-)

With the DZ11 gone and the DMF32 in its same slot, now I have -no-
additional ports! $ SHOW DEVICE shows the disk drives, and the 
operators console, but no DMF32...

I tried running SYSGEN and doing an AUTOCONFIG ALL/SELECT=(TT,TX)
but even then that didnt install the DMF32. 

Ok fine. I know the TXDRIVER.EXE is loaded, because I can see it
using the SHOW command of SYSGEN. The thing is, there is no address
or anything for it. 

What I need to know is if I need to reconfigure anything (such as
the CSR and whatever) to get it back again. And if so, how do I
go about this? Ive never changed any of these setting before, and
dont want to do it because I dont know how!!

Can anyone help? Or perhaps a manual on the DMF32 to give me direction?

Thanx in advance
