Something I forgot to ask... is the db-15 connector on the VAXstation
2000 the same pinout as that of the DECstation 3100? I'm just
wondering if the same type of cable/monitor used with the DECstation
can be used with the VAXstation.

No. The VS2k runs the
keyboard and mouse via the monitor cable. But
AFAIK the pins for the video signals are the same. So you can use a
DS3100 cable on the VS2k, but you will not be able to connect keyboard
and mouse.

Yes. Somwhere along the VS3100 to VS4k / DS5k way the
pinout was
changed. So the later DS5k PMAX are identical to AFAIK the VS4k{6,9}
pinout, that does not match the VS3100 / VS II GPX pinout. But I may be
wrong here. Have a look into the DEC cable page at the VAXarchive.

If anyone locates a spare for the VAXstation II/GPX I'm
still looking for one. I have recently found a VR290
monitor to complete the machine but still need the cable.
