<smaller><smaller>I have recently acquired a VAX Station 3500 and
I am experiencing some difficulties. My
ultimate goal is to get NetBSD on this beast but
first I need to be able to get access to the
console. The problem is thus:
I have hacked up a console cable to connect to
my PC and it seems to be working. I can see the
VAX boot up into ultrix but that is about it. I
can get a console prompt ">>>" by pressing the
halt button but beyond that I cannot get it to
accept commends. The console is echoing
characters typed to it but does not do anything.
The only response that I can get is if I press
^C I get a new >>> prompt.
Is there any hope? Can I even get NetBSD to
install on this machine? Let me know if any
more details are needed.
Thanks in advance,
Devin<bigger><bigger>
