Hi again...   Still sspatter, borrowing my friend's account...
Here we go... Got all the cards put in right.  Still need to know how to
boot up the terminal.  Also, what the devil does an RK611 controller do?
I thought it went to my RK07 drive but when I put it in and turn the
computer on, the address numbers don't come on on the console of the
front.  The flicker for a moment and then fade out. 
     I'd *really* like to know what that thing does since it doesn't
appear to do what I thought it did.  also, I need instructions from the
ground up on how to boot up the console at least so I can play with
it...  (I'm assuming it is possible to boo the console without any
drives or anything on and get it so I can type things on the console and
it 3echo them to the screen....  Could be wrong though)  I need to do
this to see if it's even worth wawsting my time trying to get the drives
to come online...  	
						Thanks.
