Hi...
I own an MiceoVax 3300
its a B125/KA640 and a R215F modul.
Sadly I have no manual which describe the hardware and so no knowledge howto connect to a
terminal.
Is there anyone who can help or am I the loneliest creature of the word ?

That's a fun little VAX! I've got the same setup that I call "WTCVAX"
(for
World Trade Center VAX) since the two BA215 cabinets look like the Sears
world trade towers :-)
Sadly I have no manual which describe the hardware and
so no knowledge
howto connect to a
terminal.

Check out the panels page at <http://www.mcmanis.com/chuck/computers/vaxen>
that shows where to hook up the console. You will need an MMJ cable or you
can take and RJ12 and break off the retaining tab.

Nice machine.

What disks
do you have? TK{5,7}0?
Sadly I have no manual which describe the hardware and
so no

The console terminal connects to the MMJ
(Modified Modular Jack) on the
CPU bulkhead. (Slide down the transparent dor at the machine. Pull the
latch at the lower left corner out. Then you can slide the whole front
cover a bit to the top and remove it. The CPU bulkhead is the rightmost
plate with some switches, one digit LED 7 segment display, ...) See
http://anacin.nsc.vcu.edu/~jim/mvax/mvax_faq.html
for a wiring form MMJ to DB25 RS232. You may find the folowing URLs

You are never alone when you ride a VAX. :-)

Perhaps http://www.bsdfans.org/pinouts.php can help on the
connector side. On the main page also are some links to
further VAX information...

Since we have so many VAX people here, a question I've
wondered about is what is the difference between the DEC BCC05 serial
cable and the BCC08 console cable for the MicroVAX II? Also, am I
correct in thinking that the BCC02 video cable goes to the DECmate
II? If so, does it go between the CPU and the VR201 mono monitor or
is it for the color option board?
