Digging up some literature on the web about the uVAX II console cable I've ran into some conflicting info: Story I | The MicroVAXII serial console port is: | | 9 pin D with pinout | 1 - grnd | 2,3 - snd, rcv (crossed to terminal for partial null modem) | 8 to 9 - shorted together | (I think, I don't have a manual handy. If I'm wrong would someone please | correct me.) Story II |The pinout is a bit strange: |DE-9 (DEC) DB-25 (PC) |1 1 |2 3 |3 2 |4 5 |5 6 |6 20 |7 7 |8 -\ |9 -/ (short 8 & 9) together I have made the latter cable but adapted it to a 9 pin PC-serial connector and I am pretty certain it is wired ok. Running Telemate as a terminal program i cannot set Hardware flowcontrol on cause it tells me that CTS=off (baud = 4800) I get no characters on the terminal when I startup uVAX (BA123). It sounds like the HD's restore OK and the little display at the bulkhead says C after first showing a few other characters. Pressing the restart/run button seems to have some effect because I can see a few leds on the TQK50 blink for an instance (The box is open but the cabinet-open switch is taped into the on position) What's is wrong ? Does anyone have a clue
