Yes, it is a DB25 DTE but female not male as on the DEC boxes. I don't
know which of the MMJ stuff is straight and which is null.
The default for the console is like this
keyboard plugged in =>
console input keyboard
console output graphics
break to monitor with keys L1(Stop) + A
break to monitor when plugging in keyboard again
keyboard not plugged in =>
console ttya
break to monitor is break
break when disturbing ttya line (switching on/off terminal)
If you by accident hit a break, type "go".
Harald.
