[HECnet] Cluster annoyances

[Cory Smelosky]

Hello all,

I'm trying to get a MicroVAX II to cluster with MORIA.   It's not going so 
well:

MOYA

The moment it joins the cluster, it immediately loses connectivity.   
There's between 5 and 10 milliseconds of latency between the two...but 
that shouldn't matter...should it?

As I don't have a SCSI Qbus adapter, and I didn't get the TK50+TQK50 with 
it, I can only MOP boot it.   60M disk is also not a lot.
