Well, I had four DECmate III computers when I went to VCF East and now
I'm left with only two. Unfortunately, I don't have keyboards or
monitors for either and that makes them unusable. Rather than trying to
acquire a keyboard and monitor I'm wondering if anyone has tried to
replace the boot ROMs to allow either OS/8 or OS/278 to boot using a
serial terminal connected to the serial port. Is that even possible? It
would be nice to be able to use these machines without a monitor or
keyboard.
Thanks,
