Whats the difference between a decstation 5000 and a
decsystem 5000?
The nameplate and that the DECsystem comes without framebuffer. If
you
add one later, the DECsystem becomes a DECstation.
But the cable that connects mouse and kbd via a db15
connector to my
decstation also terminates with a single bnc connector.
Is this another grayscale output (or b/w only) of the decstation?
No. That cable
comes from a VAXstation. The "right" DECstation cable has
no BNC connector. The only way to get graphics on that machine is via a
Turbochannel card.
