Hmm, "(from memory)"? I can access this from memory? I'm seems the Domain-
Keyboard is connected to an "Utility"-Chip? Is this Chip accessable from
memory?

Thanks, i'em interest in this! Please look for this!

Mouse is no Problem, i can use a serial Mouse, connected to an RS232 Port.
I hope this...

Yes, I'em can use this as RS232 Port, getty will work. I have installed NetBSD
over RS232, i look for this as "tty0".

Under HP-UX i can access 3 Port's. "tty[0-2]". NetBSD found only "tty0".

Domain/OS has "sio0" for Domain-Keyboard and "sio[1-3]" for RS232 on a
DB25 female Connector on th back Side.

Hmm, i become no HP-HIP Keyboard for an reasonably cheap. The Distributor
(near Hannover) have this for ~ $ 300 (Keyboard&Mouse)... ;-(

> Let us know if you get anywhere...

Yes, thanks. Hope i can redirect Kernel Keyboard Input from a RS232.
I search in the source Code...

In this Moment i search for FAQ from NetBSD, i will build a new Kernel.
This is other as Linux or Interactive Unix...


all the best
