It is quite possible for arbitration to succeed but for a transfer to
fail. In this case, it looks like Write Posting may be enabled. This would
allow the write cycle to complete as far as the cpu is concerned.

Either the RAM is not jumpered for 0x0, or the mvme141 is not set up as
VMEbus system controller. I can't help you with documentation for either
I'm afraid.
