I have 2 that I picked up the other day. They
"appear" to power up (e.g.
lights, drive seeking, etc). I tried 2 different monitors, but I don't get
any video. Any troublshooting tips, or should I connect to the serial A
port and see if there is any outut there?
Any other things that could cause no apparent video on these units?
thanks,
Kelly
Connect a terminal to the Serial port. Are you sure the monitors and
cabling are compatible?
I'd recommend looking into running either OpenBSD or maybe NetBSD on them.
I know OpenBSD has a small enough memory footprint to fit on one nicely
(won't guarentee it's supported hardware though as I don't have any LX's).
Even Solaris 2.6 will be painful on one.
