I actually have a DEC printer adapter (MMJ->9pin) which kind of works in the
9pin port on the VS2000 (I think) as it does display some text... but not
all from what I can tell. Appears to only report lines with "?" marks...
which are warnings and "??" marks I assume are errors. I get a ?? on the
device line "1" (ethernet) and thought I read somewhere that the thinwire
had to be terminated or forget it... and given the 9 pin adapter I have, I'm
not sure about the 8-9 pin short, so have a few things to workout I guess
before I really know what's going on....
Yes, tried hooking up the AUI port too, but the thickwire cables I have
won't fit! The gender is fine, but both the cables and the AUI port on the
VS have the locking posts. I seem to be hitting dead ends all over... but
will try to connect the thinwire to resolve the "??" reported, and also make
a proper 9pin cable, then will see where that gets me.

You know that you can also use an AUI terminator if your 2000 has
an AUI port? I think this goes without saying... :)
ethernet happy, and also a cable ...08 to make
the 9pin a
console port (as
this is a VS2000).
It's a simple straight-through serial cable with pins 8 and 9
tied together on the machine end. Nothing fancy. You can make
one up in five minutes with parts from radio shark.
