qbus emulex esdi controller qd2110402 rev h rom E65G problems

[Heinz Wolter]

anybody have one of these? I was lucky enough to find
the full manual on bitsavers, but it's still not working:(
the card came from a mv2 running vms4.7 showing two
~600meg maxtors as dub0: and dub1: but it no longer works.
(address jumpering  was set to secondary loc, but changed to
primary with no other disk controllers in the system)

the led error lights all come on in operational mode, and in
diag mode (sw2-1 up) and applying a reset via sw1-1 I get:
LEDs321  after powerup or reset
        NNN (the manual says these are the faults)  ERROR
        ONN BUFFER CONTROLLER FAILURE
        NON HAC TEST FAILED
        NNO EMULATION FROM FAILED
        OOO DIAG COMPLETE WITHOUT ERRORS

the only odd setting is a jumper J-H which the manual says should be off.
when this jumper is removed in test mode, only LED 2 is lit (formatter
error)
More strangely, with the controller help in reset, the KA650 roms find it's
registers showin on the QBUS and report 2 RA81 (which was the working
config)
some some bu registers and protocol must be work to get that far? swapping
the
8031, removing the serial EEPROM and reseating all socketed chips made no
change.
Anyone seen this failure before? -h
