I hope so!

I think the issue may just be dirt on the VMEs though. We'll see.

Hopefully both RMs can be salvaged.

That bus is something proprietary and not VME, but cleaning and reseating may fix your problem and that's all that counts

So further testing confirmed that both RMs work in Slot 1.

This gives me three possible ideas:

1. The slot is dirty. I have already tried cleaning the contacts as best I can and cannot see any dirt or grime
2. Some config or firmware issue is preventing the second slot from initializing properly
3. There's a hardware issue with the frontplane.

I'll try cleaning it more. Any advice on that guys?

Okay, so I figured it out

I used a piece of dampened paper with ethyl alcohol to get the dust and dirt out of each connector.

And then you gotta do what I call the VME dance. You basically wiggle the board in inch by inch, with half-turns of the screws. It's not fun.

One last question. How to get the ARCS console displaying not in 1024x768? No variables in ENV for it.
