But the cable that connects mouse and kbd via a db15
connector to my
decstation also terminates with a single bnc connector.
Is this another grayscale output (or b/w only) of the decstation?
No. That cable
comes from a VAXstation. The "right" DECstation cable has
no BNC connector. The only way to get graphics on that machine is via a
Turbochannel card.
Ur right.
I tried pulling the framebuffer card out ....no go!
Do kbd and mouse work with this cable? Should!
And where oh where do I get the 3pin to 3bnc cable from? Ebay? What's it
called?
I thought about getting some radioshack powersupply plugs that fit into
the 3pin socket and make 3 coaxcables with them. Any other way to
juryrig the 3pin connector of the vlc4000 and this turbochannel card -d
and -f type?
AND: Does netbsd 1.6/pmax or its X really work with these framebuffers
and allow a GUI? In which case I'll dump Ultrix of course.
