The key taped on top lets the VAX be switched from the
VT to the
modem, thus allowing DEC access to the computer. What color is the key?
Kind of grey. It looks like a tube lock type key, but there is nothing in
the center. So the whole key seems to just be the one little pin sticking
out from it. Obviously not meant for security, but more to prevent
accidental turning of the "lock".
And it came untaped from the top in transport, so now the key is loose in
a box with all the cables. I didn't notice anything I grabbed that looked
like it could use the key.
