Speaking of vaxstation 3100s, I have a vs42a-bd
vaxstation. I also now
find myself with an extra PC svga monitor. Is it possible to use the monitor
with the vaxstation? I once connected a NEC multisync to one and got
usable video, but NEC Multisyncs are extraordinary monitors (and I happened
to have one with the right jacks for the cable I had - long story.)
Generally PC monitors don't work, but hey it's worth a try.
If so, where would I get the appropriate cable? Also,
does anyone have
a keyboard for this thing that they'd sell? It doesn't seem to like
autobooting with a terminal, although it will boot.
All the DEC systems that use MMJ connector take any of the DEC keyboards
(LK201,LK301,LK401), those are used on ALL VTxxx terminals, Pro3xx,
Rainbow to name just a few. it should be easy to find.
