There's ten serial ports on it and they're
numbered J20 to J32.
You'd think that the system port would be the lowest or maybe the
highest numbered port but Nooo, it's J31!
My NCR Unix Tower has two 'special' serial ports on the back; ISTR that port B
is the console, and port A is for a remote diagnostic modem. It's possible your
system has a similar I suppose, and J32 is for a modem...
There's lots of bad blocks and such on the drive.
I'm wondering if I should
just install iRMX on it and forget it. Comments?
In situations like that I tend to pull the drive, drop it in a Linux system and
grab a raw image of the disk to a file. At least then I have the data, even if
accessing it can be a little complex. Format the drive then by all means, but
if it has bad blocks it sounds like it might not be too healthy anyway...
cheers
