I'm still trying to get through a full ATF run -- some tests are failing
or causing panics due to permission issues on the NFS server.  We know
that the permissions are not interfering with the compile because the
same NFS root was used for the simh compile.

That said, I did contact my reseller to inquire about the testing that
was performed prior to shipping the cards to me and they said that they
used the DEC MDM CPU and memory diagnostics.
