11/44 is alive, as is the 11/34!

The 11/44 has come to life. It passed all the diags I threw at it, plus 
booted RT11. I did that on an RL02 and would like to switch that system to 
an RA81. Once the RA81 is in place, that system is done. But at least the 
cpu is known working.

In case I didn't mention it here, the 11/34 is also alive. Turns out the 
"odd" diagnostic results I was seeing are actually what a working system 
prints. The /34 booted RT11 as well and ran a few small compiles. All I have 
to do now is move the cpu from the table on the side of the rack and mount 
it inside the rack. Then that box is done as well.

Once those above cosmetic issues are done, I'll take a short break and then 
revisit the 11/45 project which was temporarily shelved :D I'd love to spend 
more time now with the /44 and /34 to get TSX up and running, play with 
sysgening a new system, etc. But no time to play yet, I'm under orders to 
consolidate and get rid of stuff.

Thanks to all who gave input, advice, and knowledge!
