I'm not a 'Qbus person', much prefering Unibus machines, but IIRC one of 
the ST506/RX50 controllers (RQDX1 I think) had to be the last device on 
the bus since it didn't pass on grants. If that's the controller you 
have, then the RXV21 would mever get BGs or NPGs and woul;d probably do 
what you're seeing. Try putting the RXV21 first...
