Yes, S3 is in the DOWN position, to use the framebuffer.
The VaxStation completely ignores the LK201 that
I've plugged into it. All four lites on the LK stay ON.

Subject: VaxStation Keyboard Insanity
Is there a special 'dance' that I have to do before the
VaxStation responds to the keyboard?
Are they really fragile, or something?
Don't you need to set the switch known as S3 to tell the VAXstation
it's now
using an alternate console instead of a framebuffer? It should be
on the
back next (I think) to the halt button. I can't remember which
direction it
needs to be in, but you won't harm anything by changing it.
Cheers
