Is the Master configured for INTUBE or NOTUBE?  The former turns on the 
internal coprocessor bus and disables the external Tube, and the latter 
disables both.  Use Use *STATUS to see what's set, and then *CONFIGURE 
TUBE if it's been set to NOTUBE.  *CONFIGURE EXTUBE enables the external 
Tube, though I don't think you need do that unless there's an internal 
coprocessor fitted as well.

I didn't think that was true for *all* second processors, but if you 
want an image of ADFS0-32 there's one at
