I just got one of these. It powers up, the lights on the back flicker
nicely, and it appears to be outputting crap to the MMJ serial port
labeled '3', but for the life of me I can't figure out what speed it's
at.
I've tried minicom at 300,1200,2400,4800.9600.19200,38400, and 57600 with
no success. I've even tried 7-N-1 and 7-E-1 (7bits no/even parity and 1
stopbit) along with 8-n-1, no luck.
Anyone have more of a clue than I do?

Congrats. You got one
of the fastest VAXen ever made. (72MHz NVAX CPU)
Any options installed?

Hmmm. Port 3 is correct. My MV3100m95 does, as all desktop
VAXen I have
seen, 9600 8n1. The m90 is the same machine with a slower clock speed.
The machine shold output some CPU type and PROM version info and then
somthing like this during self test:
73..72..71..
it counts down over several lines and stops at "3". ("2" is searching
for boot device, "1" bootstrap loaded, "0" control pased to
bootstrap.)
Do you have a knowen to be good MMJ cable? Note that MMJ is RS423(?), a
differential voltage interface. So you need some shortenings in the
plug to connect it to RS232. Does the com port of your PeeCee work?
