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.

So only HP-UX can run on a headless machine (no keyboard and monitor)?
I guess I'll have to find a VGA-to-3-BNC cable. And I'm not sure
whether any of my LCD monitors or projector can handle sync-on-green,
but I guess I'll find out. My old Nokia 445Xi 20-inch CRT could, but I
no longer have it.
Worst case, I can build a sync separator board.

Thanks! I found Basic 5.1 and Pascal 3.1 there and downloaded them.
It would be nice to get newer versions, but as long as those work on
the /380 it will be sufficient. Next I need to get an older PC running
to use Teledisk. All of my modern PCs don't have a built in floppy
drive, and I normally use a USB 3.5" floppy drive, but USB floppies
don't support non-PC formats.

Eric,
Basic 6.2 is also on the site and can be run from flop.

I was only able to find a download for BASIC 6.2 for the "Measurement
Coprocessor" for the AT bus, which required its own special version,
not compatible with normal Series 200/300.
