Hi folks, I'm testing a little BlueSCSI adapter (BlueSCSI <https://scsi.blue/>) which while being aimed at 68K Macs should also work as an 8 bit target for older VAXen, it's a newer cheaper SCSI2SD solution and I should point out it works as intended on a Mac Plus so the module itself is fine. Nobody appears to have tested on small VAXen yet so tonight I dug out my VLC to give it a go. Powering up with nothing attached apart from an MMJ/H8571 cable I get nothing on the console, I'm using PuTTY via a genuine COM1 port on a PC which is one level above what I used last time I powered the machine up (FTDI USB adapter to a laptop). Diagnostic LEDs cycle through the tests and end up at '1111 0011' which according to the manual is 'entering the console program'. Clearly the DALLAS has passed the TOY tests, but if it's not happy would that stop the console displaying? It doesn't matter how I set S3, next step I guess is to hook it up to a 'proper' VT.
