console pinout?

Here's the pinout of the not-quite RJ-45 connector on the vax (In DECspeak it is known as an MMJ port.) Also, if you are intending to hook a terminal to a VAXstation, you need to plug the terminal into the port with the printer on it, not the two arrors. I'm not sure about a 2000, but I know this is the case on the 3100. It's 9600 8N1, if I remember correctly. On my 3100 I popped it open and installed a proper RS-232 DB-25 out the back soldered right onto the board. It was worth it, as I don't have to worry about any silly adapters. The following was actually sent to the Port-VAX NetBSD mailing list by Gunnar Helliesen. This pinout is correct, as I this is what I have used for my MMJ-based machines. -----Attachment----- Pin # Signal name CCIT # Mnemonic ----------------------------------------------------------- 1 Data Terminal Ready 108.2 DTR 2 Transmit Data 104 Tx 3 Signal Ground 102 SG 4 Receive Common --- RxC 5 Receive Data 103 Rx 6 Data Set Ready 107 DSR When viewing the MMJ plug (i.e. the thingy attached to the end of the cable) from below (opposite side of the "lip"), pin # 1 is the leftmost pin. Like this: -------------------- ----------| DTR 1 -| | Tx 2 -| | SG 3 -| | RxC 4 -|--- | Rx 5 -| | ----------| DSR 6 -| | ----------------------- ---End attach--- Enjoy, Greg Linder fluke(a)mcs.net
