Does anyone have the pinout for this? Or even better, does anyone have a
pinout for both this and a Framebuffer Console cable that works with a
VAXstation 3200 and 4-plane mono framebuffer- a BC18P? OR should I just
try to plug it in? I want to get some sort of confirmation that it won't
blow up my keyboard or DEC3000 first.
Which serial port should I use? The DB25-P or the MMJ jack?

I said that before I realized this wasn't a DECstation, and didn't use a
MIPS cpu.
Is there a version of VMS or Ultrix that'll
work?
VMS, of course!
No Ultrix, but OSF/1 aka DEC UNIX aka Tru64 UNIX. It is MACH based, has
many SysV features but it smells and feels very BSDish. That is the
reason why I like it. ;-) Also, I didn't get a keyboard
with it and didn't see one there. What kind of keyboard does it use,
You need
a special break out cable like on the DECstation 5000 2{0,4,6}0
machines. It has a 15 pin D shell connector on one side and a litle box
on the other. Keyboard (any DEC LK{2,4}01) and Mouse (DEC VSXXX) are
connected to this box. can I use a
serial terminal instead?
Flip S3 on the back to force the machine to serial
console. Have a look
