Before I moved, and put mine away, I was about to re-flash the

info and files for doing that. Then I'll find a place on the net to put
them, so other can download them.
Note: you need a Mac with a serial port, and the console cable that
came with them. I'll slap a meter on my console cable for the pinout, and
post that too. :) IIRC, you should be able to just hook up a VT420 to the
port after that, for twiddling the knobs.

Mac OS X 10.1 - Darwin Kernel Version 5
Running since 01/22/2002 without a crash
So... I had contemplated picking up one of the
boxes I saw at Dayton,
but was concerned about passwords. Does anyone on the list have a
GatorBox? If so, what models? Docs? Know of any backdoors to get
around missing passwords?
I have a GatorBoxCS, and I have all the docs for it. It's not running at
the moment (temporary shortage of mains sockets) but IIRC you can reset it
to factory defaults. It might need a server to get a boot image from,
though.
