Subject: Re: Request for help with a PDP 11/73
Thats what I was hoping. I think that
it is trying to boot from the disk
that I think is dead.
I have a vt420 to hook up, but
I do not have the cabling that I need.
I just bought a gender changer and a
null modem on eBay. When they get here
I will hook it up to see what the console
output says.
Thanks,
Dave Chu

Dave, remember that many MMJ cables and wiring are already wired as
null-modem. See
http://www.openvms.compaq.com/wizard/padapters.html for
details on many common adapters and cables related to DEC/Compaq/HP
terminals and computers. Hope this helps!
