You have to short
Perhaps is a problem of the cable and terminal
you are using.
I have one DEC cable with MMJ connector, and use one VT-102
or one Compaq Portable with Kermit using VT-102 emulation to connect
with the Microvax 2000.
Just curious... Do you have in the back of the Microvax one Box with
three MMJ connectors ? This is neccesary to connect with one Serial
Terminal (someone correct me if this is a mistake)
I had a couple of VS2000 (Same box, with graohics) and routinely used
a nearly-standard PC-type RS-232 null modem cable. two pins at the VAX side, but I do not remember which
two. I found the
pinouts in some FAQ or other online.
Hmmm. You might be onto something. I did see something about having to
short out pins 8 and 9 when using the 9-pin port. I wonder if that might
apply to the 25 pin port?
Also, remember that on all the desktop VAXen I've run, the *printer*
port is the console. Zane, Eric, is that absolute or no?
yeap, the ports on them seem to be "multi-functional"!
Sorry I don't have the pinout, but IIRC, it's the same cable needed
for the MVII console.
Gee, that tells me a lot :-/
