I picked up another 3100 today (in addition to one that
I
picked up before without a drive in it). I'm looking for
information on getting these things working. The main things
I'm trying to figure out are:
Is it possible to run them without a display via the serial
port on the back?
Sure is. You just need the right cable. MMJ, IIRC. That's how I run my
VS3100. The thing to rememeber is that unless you've got a Keyboard pluged
in it thinks it's a VAXserver 3100, which means a different licensing
scheme.
Information on the 8 status LEDS on back of the unit.
Perhaps
someone can point me to a web site that has some info on this.
http://anacin.nsc.vcu.edu/~jim/mvax/mvax_faq.html should have it.
