  Yep, even the DMR has a boot "password", which is just an 8 bit value set
by dip switches on the board, that has to match up with the MOP message.

They DMA a small program into memory

  Ah, I was wondering about that, because there aren't any separate boot
ROMs on the DEUNA.   I bet the "small program" is just part of the T11 code.


  And I'm assuming that this scheme didn't work on any UNIBUS VAXes - only
PDPs.
