After looking for pinouts, I have attached a NEC
Multisync 3D monitor
and an LK201 keyboard to the VIDEO 1 port. During the self
test I get an
error saying a key is stuck on the keyboard. This may indeed
be true, I
have not tested the keyboard before. It also says hit <RESUME> to
continue. The keyboard has no <RESUME> key. I suspect there
were various
markings for the keycaps. Any suggestion on which key might
be <RESUME>?
You can find some LK201/VR201 info (mostly schematics) at
http://www.pdp11.nl/documentation/
(The Rainbow used the same kbd/monitor IIRC)
The RTI seems interesting, but I have not seen any
pinouts for the 62
pin connector. From what I can find there are two serial ports, a 24
line bi-directional I/O port and an IEEE-488 port. Pretty cool, but
useless without a pinout...
You can find some Nautilus (VAX 85xx/8700/8800) info at:
http://208.190.133.201/decimages/
(that's what these things were often attached to as a console).
