Hello,

I have an Artecon machine (ie the VME bus) with what I'm almost certain is
a Sun 4/110. After all it has a MB86900 and a MB86910 and a P4 frame buffer
connector. However I can't seem to get it to use the Serial Port A as the
console. Since I have no sun monitor, unless I can get the console to output
through RS232, then I'm hosed! Basically when I turn it on it just prints a
y on the terminal screen and does nothing else. Can anybody help with this?

Also and maybe more importantly, the Sun hardware reference guide does not
have (as far as I've seen unless I'm missing something obvious!) the LED
guide like it's references to the other models. Could anybody sned some info
on what status the machine is in when certain diag LEDS are lit?

Thanks in advance.

Chris Fletcher.
