If you put a terminal on the DB9 (ground pin 8 to 9)
it will use a
standard terminal (9600, 8,n,1). The Test 50 command will display ram
installed and other data about the system.
VMS and ultrix runs fairly well in 4 or more meg of
ram NetBSD wants 8
or more, 14mb is max.
It certainly seems to have a load of memory chips in it! But I didn't
really try to tally the total amount.
IT has a hard and a floppy controller on the board
(the 60 pin connector).
Do you have a wiretable from the 60-pin to hard and floppy connectors?
The biggest drive it knows is the RD54 (maxtor 2990)
at 159mb. It can
also format hard disks and DEC floppies rx50 <400kb dual 5.25> or RX33
<1.2mb, 5.25>.
Got one of those drives around here, I'm sure.

The 318mb of local disk is 2 RD54s.
Ah so!
25 pin is modem. 15 pin is CRT/keyboard/mouse, 9pin is
serial printer
or console. The MMJ adaptor bring out the serial printer, mouse and
keyboard lines to RS423 serial lines for terminals (ala dec vt320).
That MMJ adaptor is removeable (two screws). Network is on the AUI or
BNC connector and is eithernet (10base2).
That 15-pin CRT/keyboard/mouse sounds an awful lot like the Rainbow
setup. Could I be so lucky?
They are common as house flies and as small vaxen go
pretty useful and fun
to run as they really don't use much power.
Heh heh! Hope they are not the nuisance that house flies are!
Thanks Allison!
