Hi all.

Today i went to the storage room from the CS department,
and search for gysmos for the Vax. Im now full of dust :-P
What i found was:
AUI extender cable (digital)
coaxial cable, terminators and a T (digital)
2 console cables (like rj11, digital)
a little box to connect a cable to a Serial Terminal (digital)
a white box with Centronic 36 pins in one side, and 8 Vax terminal
connector on the other (like rj11, digital)
With these things and a Wyse Terminal
i can see the boot messages from the Vax!!!! :-)))))
I put a transceiver from a IPX to the AUI extender to try after lunch
netbooting :-))))

Here i write what the boot messages are:

KA640-A V5.3, VMB 2.7
Performing normal system test.

netbbot, please send it.
