Thanks, Antonio!
I Googled "vaxstation console password" and found the first hit with
your name on it. Shorted the 2 triangular solder pads next to the TOY,
and I'm in.
This list is _so_ much easier than RTFM....
Thanks again.
Doc
BTW, I
can't get any response at the boot monitor. HELP, SHO DEV, ?,
all the stuff I'm used to gets ILL CMD. BOOT works - VMS 5.5
Are the console commands different from the 4000/60?
Since BOOT works and HELP does not, my guess is that the
security password has been activated and you either need to
type LOGIN followed by the correct 16 hex-digit code (which
I assume you don't know) or you need to pop the lid and
do the magic to circumvent the password (which I cannot
remember but will look up tonight if you need it).
