But seriously folks... Did it work before?  Are you using the SAME
1014 board?  Configured with the SAME switch/jumper settings?  Etc,
etc...??

Just for yucks, have you tried using just the CPU and the 1014 alone in
the crate all the way on the left with no empty slots?  Remember that
the system controller MUST be on the left of everything else (I should
have added that to my beer-fee list of do's and dont's last week) and
that the mvme167 is the system controller in the typical configuration.

[My soapbox for this week...  I can't wait to get rid on the support for
the 1014 boards completely.  They are so dang sensitive to EVERYTHING
that they rarely work on the first try.  Maybe I'll get lucky and NI
will file chapter 11... or at least drop the 1014 line.  Heck, I'll
settle for them firing the looser that came up with the design of that
yucky card.]
