Well, it was probably just a spare part tossed on there. This box was
shipped solely for the purpose of testing specialty keyboard/mouse
hardware.

Well, I do have in my parts bin, 2 cables that look like they might
work. Both have 3 BNC (RGB) connectors for video, but one has a box on
it, with PS/2 style mouse & keyboard; while the other has only the RJ-?
style DEC keyboard connector.
I have the monitor from my DEC 3000/400 (3 BNC connectors) and a DEC
VRT17-HA (5 BNC) currently displaying green mono from my VAXStation
3100.
Would I be safe trying one of those cable/monitor combinations on the
VAX?
I'll have to go and take a look to see what the card says...

From what I remember it's a MicroVAX II in a
BA415 chassis, ie VAX3400 style
box but without DSSI; the pix show pretty standard
MVII components, though
that 15pin m/f breakout box looks odd... Hmm, gotta fix that. here's the close
up picture of the
plate that's hanging out, for KVM...

I know what that bulkhead connector is for, but without
a video system to plug it into it's not much more
than just a connector! 
From the
original pics it looks like it plugs in
somewhere inside - I just don't think
that it's
the DEQNA that it plugs into. So where does it
connect (you didn't list any video cards in the
original message).
