Onderwerp: HP 9000/380 console? software? (was Re: HP 9000/382 Questions)
I've borrowed an HP 9000/380 from a friend, along with a 9122D floppy drive,
but no software. It has an A1416A Color VRX DIO-II "Kathmandu"
video interface, but I'm hoping that I can just use the serial port as a console.
Does the DE9 serial console use the IBM pinout? Do I have to pull the A1416A to
get it to use the serial port as the console?
Is there any software that can be booted on it from the floppy, such as perhaps
non-HP-UX BASIC?
The manual says you can't use a terminal on the internal
serial port.
You can boot Basic 5.1 or 6.2 from disc, on the hp museum site you can download the
images.
This is the default boot disk they made should work for every 200/300 series.

I'm not sure if you can run Pascal from a floppy disk.
