1) I have the HIL-PS/2 adapter (HP calls is the
"keyboard adapter
module"), but it doesn't plug in to the HIL port on the machine. There
is a descending piece of plastic on the right side of the 10P10C
connector that blocks it. I know that this adapter was made for the
9000/700 PA-RISC workstations, will it work with the 375, if I remove
that tab?
No. No way. That litle box from the 715 machines is just a break out
box. It breaks out the different pins of the 10P10C connector to the
PS/2 keyboard / mouse and the HIL connector. There is no PS/2 => HIL
protocol converter in it. It is not a HIL device.
Thanks, Jochen. I'm on the hunt for an HIL keyboard and mouse, and
some more RAM!
It seems to me that there is precious little information about for the
300-series, compared to some of it's contemporaries, especially the
Sun 3/Sun 4 series.
