That's actually a pretty nice box. It's a storage server. It doesn't
have VAX roms, though, so it can't run VMS.
So the s3 switch looking exactly like the one on a
Vaxstation 3100
series should do the same: switch from serial display/console to
terminal. And the dB25 plug is not a printer out, but functionally
similar to the db15 of the vs3100: it carries mouse/kbd and b/w analog
signals (single bnc) for a terminal display. No SPX or GPX board in
there anyways. Am I right?
Nope. You don't hook a keyboard and mouse to this thing. It'll only
accept a terminal.
Long slide for a short question:
Is there a DEC cable that fits this db25 plug and that has the mouse/kbd
plugs - analogous to the vs3100 15-pin plug?
Does anyone have the pinouts to this db25 plug?
No. It doesn't need a keyboard, mouse, or monitor. It uses a terminal.
All I need is kbd and analog out. That would allow me
to fire up this
otherwise nifty combo in netbsd for vax. Or try the new linux vs3100
kernel on a compact system that has the cd built-in.....
It won't run NetBSD. It uses a terminal and runs software specific to the
infoserver. It can act as a storage server, serving disk to VMS machines,
and also as a MOP boot server for VAX, PMAX, and Alpha machines.
