It requires serious disassembly of the box. After that, you can plug a DEC terminal into serial port for the console. You'll need a copy of a page from one of the manuals for th e machine. I'm not sure where you can get one, however. --- Esther Lumsdon David Taylor Research Center Annapolis Lab cm 301-267-3816 av 281-3816
