keyword=new VME cpu on TS0 -- CODA works (gulp)

We installed the new VME cpu which Dave Abbott gave us.
Looks like the R-HRS DAQ runs fine now.

Two important notes for shift workers:

1. At the moment the servers to download trigger and EDTM
are disabled. This is not a problem as long as you don't
turn off CAMAC. I'll work on this tomorrow.

2. I had to borrow the portserver cable from TS12 (BBite VME).
To get in there you have to telnet to the internet interface
like "telnet bbts1".

----------------------

Other details, less important to shift workers:

-- The portserver cable in situ did not work. We'll need to
make a copy of the one for TS12 with the same pin-out.

-- There were a number of 24-bit relocation errors. I know
how to solve these and did so for the vital software, but I'll
need to come back tomorrow and fix camac library, EDTM and some
other auxiliary stuff. Scalers and the important things look ok.

-- I won't make any changes without consulting RC.
