So I have an MSV11-QC (the 4gb Q Bus memory board) that has a failed bit. On an 11/73 it throws the following error:

Expected data   = 125252 (1010 1010 1010 1010
Bad data        = 121252 (1010 0010 1010 1010)
Address         = 10015140

Which puts the error in the top 2mb (1mw), bit 4000. No biggie, consulting the matrix at:

https://gunkies.org/wiki/MSV11-Q_QBUS_memory

Shows this to be bank 4, bit 4000 or E85.

Cut out E85, popped the board in (to double check before replacing) and I see this:

Expected data   = 125252
Bad data        = 121252
Address         = 02015140

Ooops. That would be decimal 531,040 which puts it in bank 1? Which should be E88, where did I go wrong here?

Or is the table for the MSV11-Q only valid for the 64k ones and not the 256k ones? If so the bits may be right, but the banks are different.

Anyone want to cross-check this or my maths?

Thanks!
