Unfortunately, my MMJ to DB25 adapter is made in such a
way that I can't
see inside to tell which wires go to which pins. All I can do is assume
that the wire colors are the "standard" colors, i.e. green/red in the
center, black/yellow one pair out, etc.
You can do a lot better than assume: use a multimeter
and see what goes where! If you don't have a meter,
try a bulb, a battery and some wires :-)
Unless you enjoy guesswork, wiring details are to be
found in the OpenVMS FAQ
http://www.openvms.compaq.com/wizard/openvms_faq.html
I found a source to sell me an adapter to do exactly
what I need (this
adapter is what I thought I was getting in the first place, I didn't
realize I was getting a "make it yourself kit"). So I figured I might as
well order it and save myself a lot o f headaches. It should be here
tomorrow.
But you are missing out on so much fun :-)

New subject: VRE01 woes
Ok Now, I stuffed my dell with 4 videocards, 3 matrox millennium
cheapies with 8mb ram, one s3 was on-board and installed xf86, so my
mouse now jumps from the 19in lcd to the 19in tube and to the 19in VRE01
and I have all the visual real estate I ever need....but:
The trouble is the VRE01 is kind of flickery with about 12 vertical
areas top to bottom that seem to "shimmy" slightly in -bpp16. no you
cannot run --bpp8 for a single card. And not --bpp4 or 2 either in that
server.
But its not that methinks, it looks more like a slightly out-of-tune
synch sig. sync on green enabled on that card of course. Or a secondary
"overlay" frequency that creates a crazy harmonic? Barely!?
Has anyone else tried?
Getting a b/w VRE01 gasplasma display to display with an xfree server in
linux? b/w dithered?
Its my ambition....I'm almost there! What am-I doing wrong??
