RI?  I don't find that in my ASCII tables.  Can you give me the
octal value?

Have you tried going into the setup menu on the terminal and switching
it between 7 and 8 bits?

I'm a bit confused - where is this 2.11 kernel from?  Isn't the standard
generic kernel built for just a single ra controller?  Isn't 174400
the standard DEQNA/DELQA ('qe0') address?  Is it possible that
your console communications problems have misled you into thinking
that the configure for the Ethernet card is a configure for the
second MSCP controller?

In any event, 2.11BSD can be readily convinced - if it's been built
for two MSCP controllers - to find your second controller at 160334.
Just go in and modify /etc/dtab.

It might be of some help, if I could find it.  In any event,
look at the silver sticker on the module and let us know what
the sticker says.

Chances are that you have a QD32, QD33, or QD34, in which case
you get to choose the CSR using some DIPswitches.  If you've got
a QD35, you set the CSR using a serial terminal hooked to the
diagnostic port on the card.

But I'm tending to believe that this won't help your immediate
situation, because your kernel doesn't have support for a second
MSCP controller.  If this is the case, then you can just choose
to install at your controller at an address of 160334 by telling
the standalone utilities to install at 'ra(1,0,0)'.  It'll ask
you which CSR should be used, at which point you'd tell it 160334.

Once you've done the install, I'm not sure off the top of my head
how you convince your 11/83 to boot from a nonstandard CSR.  But
you will be able to boot from tape, and then tell it to load
from 'ra(1,0,0)unix', and again you'll be prompted for the CSR.
