     I can't find out the reasonable MOD group for this question.
However, I thought there might be  a lot of experts on DEQNA around this
groupe. So, I post this question.

     We are trying to boot DEQNA (Ethernet interface on Q-BUS) on LSI-11/73
RT-11. We wrote a test program to read BDROM (Boot/Diagnostic ROM) on
DEQNA board in vain. This is very complicated work, because the ROM is
transfered like a packet arriving from other node. We have a poor
documentaion about DEQNA. DEC Japan has not ever experienced to
install DEQNA from the begining. So, It's hard to get information and
know-how from DEC Japan. Our DEQNA's version is C1.
  In order to read BDROM, we made a tentative program. For
reference, the program is attached here. If there is any incorrection
in the program, please suggest me. 
Thanks in advance.
                                                   KEN
