<Also, do you have an idea how I can get the graphic console to emulate a
<terminal?  I cannot hook anything up to the serial port (non standard),

The console is completely unsupported.  The serial port must be used
and there is data about the cable and connector around.

<and a friend I know with the same model has his 21" screen displaying
<stuff.  My present solution of telnetting into it isn't much fun.

If he/she is then it's running VMS or Ultrix.
