Well, I hooked that cable up poperly, fitted a Unibus
terminator, hooked it up, set the "keyswitch" to
Local, crossed my fingers and hit the breaker. It's
alive! I get the >>> prompt on the VT220. It does,
however, give me ERR RAM:90 on powerup, but at least
it communicates with the terminal and the power
supplies work and whatnot. It'll be an adventure to
get this running - I have no bootable media, and I
don't have a disk controller at all in here. There's a
TU80 controller (M7454) - can this be connected to a
Pertec interface tape drive?
