No, that's not what that means.

It does say that micro diagnostics are required; when those are disabled, the 
device is rejected because of that failure.

However, it also says that "XM0: is missing ECO's, but will still function."  
That means the device is enabled, and it should be there and work when you 
start the system.  More precisely, if it doesn't work that would be for a 
different reason.

Tried what with QBus?  DMC?  Only a DMV is valid on Qbus.

Mark, here is the code from the RSTS INIT code that generates the "missing 
ECO's" message.  I'll take a look at why it doesn't like DMR11s.

.SBTTL  Check the Micro-code for latest ECO level

;       This routine reads out the micro-code from the roms, and
;       compares them with the last ECO'ed roms that went out.  This
;       happened in the late 1970's, and then the device was replaced
;       by DMR's, so there should be no need to change this routine
;       in the future, however, if there is a new DMC rom ECO, this
;       the two copies of the DMC micro-code will need to be updated
;       to reflect the then current micro-code listings.
