The MicroVAX 2000 has a thinwire ethernet port which is enabled and
cannot be disabled.  It test as TEST 1.  If your boot shows:
F...E...D... 1... then your ethernet is ok.  If 1 shows as ? or _
then you've got an error.  Type   >>> TEST 1 and see what you get.
The errors generaly mean (0000.7001 or some such) that you didn't
hook it up to an active dempr port or thinwire network correectly.
