hook a terminal to a small 486 SBC/data collector which is running
"headless." I seem to remember that the console I/O can be redirected to a
COM port with a command like "MODE COM1:=CON" or something like that. I'm
not at home now, so I can't try it, but am I on the right track? Will that
redirect both screen and keyboard I/O?
Yes, you're on the right track. Try going into DOS and type HELP MODE.
That may have more info.
