  If you have a KA655 VAX CPU, or the SIMH version, you
can run the
 configure utility to calculate what the CSR address and vector
 assignments should be for the set of devices you have. 
Good tip. Another is that SYSGEN under VMS can also do this. Check the
HELP if you are curious.
Yet another is FLOAT.CMD, which comes with the DECnet distribution of RSX.
And I also have a program written in C from I don't remember where,
which allows you to figure out the same information.

  For example:
 VAX simulator V3.8-1
 sim> load -r ka655x.bin
 sim> boot cpu
 KA655-B V5.3, VMB 2.7

And for the curious of mind, the same from FLOAT.CMD:

Determine the floating CSR addresses for your UNIBUS or Q-BUS machine.
Type in the number (0 to 16) of devices for each device on the  system
(<RET> = 0).  After you have typed in the number for  the  device  you
are interested in, type <ESC> to avoid having to go through  the  rest
of the list.
