Hi everybody.

I'm Marc Malagelada doing VAX-bricolage again.

I remind my equipment:
VAXstation2000 (KA410) with RX33 FDD and a RD53 harddisk.
A 21" color monitor as a console, a keyboard and a tablet with puck.

I am trying to get an Operating System for this machine.

Now I'm trying to boot this VAXstation2000 with NetBSD for uVAX-II.

Bertram told me that messages may be printed to a console connected to
the serial (printer) port of this VAX, and not to the graphic console.

Here goes the question:

How can I build a cable to connect the printer port of this KA410 to a
VT220?
Or How can I build a cable to connect the printer port of this KA410 to
a PC emulating a VT100 / VT102 / ANSI / VT52.

Thank-you.

Marc.                                     marc@hades.udg.es
